About me

I am a poet, animals' companion, citizen scientist, haphazard gardener, fictionist, and a retired emergency manager with a previous life in natural resources management. After years of environmental assessments and operations manuals, I now write poetry, essays, and science fiction cowboy stories.  

My work has been published in Willawaw Journal, the anthology Mount Shasta Reflections, and The Modoc Independent newspaper. Distant Trails, a revision of my previously self-published novel, Carico Trails, was released by Not a Pipe Publishing in August, 2022, followed by Deep Canyons in November, 2022, and Tricky Ground, book 3 in April, 2023.
