edit data

Bill Garwin left California and now resides in the high desert of New Mexico where he can wear his cherished cowboy hat year-round. Eight years of lacrosse, fifteen years of karate, and five years of fencing have taught him lessons which can only be earned. While others may accept the fertile middle-ground, he respects his readers too much to write down to them, striving to blend action, humor, and considered reflection in his books. When you meet him, understand that he enjoys nothing more than a conversation on a topic he has never before considered. He will, of course, opine with complete confidence.
