About
Diverse and dynamic experience contribute to the realism and legitimacy of my novels, including a career in aerospace/defense, top secret signals intelligence, world travel, engineering and business degrees, common farm labor from Oklahoma to Canada, truck driving from the Rio Grande to upper state New York, picking Oklahoma cotton and California lemons, and managing work crews from Texas to the Bering Strait in the Arctic, building control centers for AF-1, boilers for the Middle East, and oil drill bits for the world.

What inspired you to start writing?
Influences included my mother, a storyteller and a poet, and a college professor urging me to pursue literature. Although I loved literary fiction, I couldn't find time or ability to disengage my technical-business mind of the aerospace/defense industry, until I finally retired from that career.
