Welcome to my site. If you’re looking for my blog, just click here on “Blog.” This site is intended for those who have read one of my novels, an article, or posting on one of the social websites such as Twitter or Facebook and want to know more about me. There is nothing for sale here that I will benefit from. However, I plan from time to time to recommend something I’ve read that I found entertaining or useful and give you a link to it – usually on Amazon. The photo you see at the top of every page was taken in early June from my deck facing South. The fields are in bloom with wildflowers.

If you are new to this site, please visit my “Who I am” page. It explains how this site came about and you will get a chance to look at my tombstone.  I am not going to write an autobiography here. First, my memory is not good enough to remember details such as what I had for lunch on September 9, 1948 – that was a Thursday. The things that will end up here are things I remember and for some reason are important to me. Second, I am addicted to writing and had to support my writing habit, which means I have done a wide variety of things in my life first just to eat and then support a family. I will talk about those too. Thirdly, I have gotten quite an education in life. Some of it even formal such as the MFA degree I have. I would label most of those things as musings. However, some of them are very practical. For example, why was I taught to sharpen the two sides of a double bit axe in different ways.[One side for felling and the other side for splitting.] Some are just my opinion. Look around and enjoy yourself!
