I believe that the power of creativity is magic; it influences the emotions of readers, listeners, and viewers. I promise to weave that magic into everything I create. Accompanied of course by some adventure, a bit of romance, and a touch of humor.

I live in the Greater Vancouver area on Canada’s west coast, and I’m happily married with three wonderful daughters. After spending many years working in Information Technology, I retired into my creative pursuits, writing fantasy novels, playing guitar and composing music.
