About the author

I was born and raised in Northern Central Pennsylvania, which is where my latest book, 'When the River Rises' takes place.
When I was fourteen, I wrote my first book, but was so disappointed when it was returned to me, I refused to write anymore.
During my late twenties, I once again tried writing. I wrote a few short stories for children. "Kevin Through the Looking Glass', and 'Connect the Dots', both turned out to be featured in a then highly followed kids magazine.
I have always told my kids and grandkids bedtime stories. Many of them were fairy tales, but with my own twist to them. I also made up some oddball stories when they would throw animals into the mix and ask me to tell them a story with all of them together. One of those happened to involve a tiger and a penguin.
I am now retired and following my dream. I've always wanted to be a writer, and this is where all my life experience, watching my children do their odd things, and watching people in general, I've collected enough info to do just that; follow my dream and hopefully give enjoyment and laughs to whomever chooses to read it.
