Once upon a time I was a Hobo Musician/ Busker. Then when I grew older, not so resilient and began losing my hearing I turned to writing stories. I lean toward mystery, fantasy, science-fiction fantasy and a hybrid of then all, not to mention quirky and occasional macabre.
I live in an old farm house with my wife and dogs on a two acre private walking park in the middle of and Island often called Turtle Island, because from the air it looks like a turtle. All that said I am mostly a dreamer living the life dancing in my imaginary world.
