edit data

I believe that the power of creativity is magic; it influences the emotions of readers, listeners, and viewers. I promise to weave that magic into everything I create. Accompanied of course by some adventure, a bit of romance, and a touch of humor.

I live in the Greater Vancouver area on Canada’s west coast, and I’m happily married with three wonderful daughters. After spending many years working in Information Technology, I retired into my creative pursuits, writing fantasy novels, playing guitar and composing music.

Rick Waugh rated a book it was amazing The Retired Assassin's Guide to Country Gardening (Retired Assassin's Guide #1) by Naomi Kuttner (Goodreads Author)	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
This was just plain fun. It’s a simple book, but the characters were great. The thought of the retired assassin, who’s really not used to being close to people, and is trying to live in a quiet community where no one knows his past, is great.
