About the author

I live in Oklahoma, but grew up in Laramie, Wyoming. My first book, "Mask of the Wizard," was published in 1985 when I was in college, and is followed by "Veil of Shadow" and "The Hidden Temple." These are adventure fantasies, sword and sorcery-style. My second fantasy trilogy, "The Winged Assassin" series, was written under the influence of the Arabian Nights, Mary Renault's books, Michael Moorcook, and my love for ancient history. All six books came out when I was in my twenties. Raising two kids, teaching college, and lots of community theater happened after that! More recently, "The Wendigo Border" by Catherine Montrose came out in 1995, a contemporary dark fantasy set in Laramie. I'm writing a new epic trilogy and a young adult series currently, and hope to see them in print in the next few years.
