Mid-50-something gay guy living in Dallas, Texas. In 2021 I self-published my first book through Amazon, a word search collection called "Diversions". Second book "Queer Pride Puzzles Volume One" is available now! It officially "came out" on April 23rd, 2025!

Puzzle contributor to the national magazine, "Games World Of Puzzles", plus LGBTQ+ newspapers & magazines the Dallas Voice, Out Front Magazine in Colorado, OutSFL in South Florida and Stonewall News Northwest serving the North Pacific area of the US.

Currently working on a third puzzle book! It should be done and out sometime mid-2026 hopefully!

I hope to start catching up to the Pendergrast series by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, plus they've recently started a new series featuring Nora Kelly from some of their previous books. Great series of thrilling dark mystery and murder and dective work. I think I'm five books behind now from them alone! Then the Steven Saylor series with Gordianus the Finder, a detective series set in ancient Rome, is another great series I'm behind on. Those alone should keep me busy for a few summers at least!(less)

I would probably never want to leave!(less)
