I live in New Hampshire and have spent three-plus decades working in various engineering and marketing roles in the high tech field around the New Hampshire/Boston area. I hold degrees in electrical engineering and business, and have seven patents associated with sensor technology and communications. I'm also a private pilot and amateur radio operator.

I released my first novel, "Nano Surveillance", a techno-thriller in 2013, and my second novel, "Waterkill", another techno-thriller, in November, 2015.

I have also authored 32 eBooks and 2,000+ articles on a wide variety of home improvement topics via my website www.HomeAdditionPlus.com. Many of my articles are syndicated around the United States.

I love reading, flying, skiing and being outdoo

I develop a story board for my book at the beginning of the book concept. Then I just start plowing forward writing for myself, one word and one page at a time.

I find when writing for myself, I don't second guess my thoughts, and thus prevent writers block. I came to this discovery a long time ago.
