About Me

As I’ve said, writing is the mechanism by which I understand the experiences in myself, with others, and in the world. There is not a time I remember when I wasn’t writing. I started out to write ‘serious’ spiritual books — nonfiction. I accomplished that goal, and one crazy, lonely, snowed-in Valentine’s Day, I posted my latest musings on how to apply peace to a life, and went back to the cabin to weather the storm when a voice in my head said, “So, you gonna write my story now?”

It didn’t startle me to hear a voice. I’d been hearing voices consistently for 15 years by then. I answered, “Sure. Why not?” Eleven days later there was a 350-page manuscript on my coffee table, and the plows were coming to dig out my car in the morning. Thus, after a lot of edits, the birth of my fiction-writing life.
