Reading probably saved my life. Fatherless at a young age, I wasn't doing well in school. I read the entire Hardy Boys series in 4th grade and my Iowa Basic Skills score jumped from border-line retarded to above average.

Been reading ever since. I mix genres, fiction and non-fiction. I even like to read product manuals and user guides. Coincidentally, writing has been a large part of my career. Mostly technical and marketing copy writing, but it's all good.

Graduated from Texas State with a BA in Int'l. Studies, then received an MS in Telecommunications from the University of Colorado. So I have a blend of liberal arts and technical studies, which might explain my affinity for writing the techno-thriller genre. ...more

My Thanksgiving

I took the entire week off from work for Thanksgiving for some much needed recovery time. Karen and I hiked the Sourdough trail early in the week and had to stop the car on the road to allow some wild turkeys to pass. Imagine that.

It was a bit colder than we expected at 8,000 feet. We could have used mittens.

Not too much snow on the trail though. We expect to get our first real snowfal
