I was born on the island of Maui, but grew up mostly in Colorado and Montana, though I've also spent time in North Dakota, California, and Washington and now live in Florida. My first published poem came out when I was six and I've been writing away steadily ever since. I like to dabble in alternate futures as well as alternate histories, exploring man's potential to better the world instead of merely coping with it. Occasionally I also write historical nonfiction dealing with odd subjects that have taken too great a hold on my imagination.
