edit data

Always a writer, but you know, that work and earn money stuff got in the way, so pursuing a writing career had to wait.
While still in school, I began working in a sheet metal shop, where I remained for 12 years before opening the first of three bars and restaurants. Various events led me to sell and abandon these ventures, and I moved to Dutch Harbor, Alaska, where I first managed a bar and restaurant, then transitioned into crab fishing, a career I continued until injuries forced me out of the industry.
I obtained my merchant mariner credentials and continued working on ships, which I still do part-time, but I have since published 2 books, with a third, the first of a series, nearing completion.

Randy Batten answered Goodreads's question: If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there? To the battle of Hattin during the crusades to see how closely my battle representation matches what actually happened in my book, "Knight on Time."

I am now on Andrew Clawson's Harry Fox series, book #5. Very well done, and I cannot wait to begin reading Kevin Tumlinson's new book, The Forgotten Rune.
