About the author

I'm writing my first fantasy novel, set in a Mesopotamia-like world in a Bronze-age sort of setting. I hope it will be the first of many and that I'll have it finished in early 2021. For now I'm reading epic fantasy as much as possible when I'm not working, writing my book, taking care of kids & puppies, or hanging out with my beautiful wife. Oh, in a previous life -- or maybe it was just my 30's and 40's -- I wrote religious non-fiction.
