About the author

I taught California History on both the secondary and collegiate levels. My novels are mainly of the historical fiction genre, centering on the San Francisco and Russian River Valley areas. They are packed with nostalgia, pop-culture trivia and quirky characters to tell timeless stories. When I'm not writing, I am searching for zany tales that reside on the edge of existence. Hey, if your not living on the edge, you're probably taking up too much room anyway, right?
