edit data

I spent thirty-five years in the broadcast business, twenty-five of those years as an Art Director. During my career, I was the recipient of two Emmy Awards for design and motion graphics.

I'm a gay man now retired and living in the high desert of Nevada, I enjoys watching sports, especially football, baseball, golf, and hockey. I also love to cook and bake, work out at the gym, and incessantly read romance novels.

When relaxing, I can often be seen following the call of the disco ball or even raving to electronic dance music. Favorite casino games of chance include Craps and Roulette.

I was always a visual artist but decided to try my hand at writing as a different avenue of creativity.

Book #2 is out!

The second book is The Kismet Collection series, released on November 1.

This book is about Mason's best friend from book one. I felt he needed a story.

I'm currently working on book threeBi-Coastal Commitment and plan to write five books in the series.

Although the books are standalones, you'll get a deeper understanding of the characters if you start with book one, Highway to Destiny. Read more of this blog post »
