Welcome to my website.
I
live in Centennial, Colorado, with my wife, Bobette, and our Yorkie, Taz. We
enjoy country dancing, blockbuster movies, reading, and weekend outings in
our motor home. We are also active members of the Harley Owner's Group (HOGs)
and the American Legion Riders of Post 178. Bobette is a Zumba fitness instructor, as well. She works
for a liquor distributor, and I'm retired from the auto repair business
after 36 years. I now write full time, and I'm the editor and publisher at
TWB Press and Amore Moon Publishing. Between Bobette and I, we have 5 children and
15 grandkids and one great granddaughter.
I'm
a Vietnam veteran, having served with the US Air Force in Phan Rang and
Cam Ranh Bay with the 554 Civil Engineering Squadron known as "Red
Horse." We were responsible for construction on the base and across
South Vietnam. I was assigned to the vehicle maintenance division where I
serviced and repaired everything from jeeps to bulldozers. During my four
year tour of duty, I served three years with "Red Horse",
finishing up at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, Nevada, where I attained the rank
of E-5, Staff Sergeant. On returning home to Denver I worked two years for
Mack Trucks before starting my own auto repair business.
My love of motorcycles started back in 1975 when I bought my first Honda
CB360T. I soon graduated to a Kawasaki 750 and eventually moved up to a
Honda Goldwing in 1980. I sold that bike in 1985, bought a Honda V45
Saber, rode that for a while, then pretty much gave up on motorcycling for
nearly 30 years. In 2012, while researching Harley Davidson for my novel
"Black Jack", I visited my local HD dealer and the biking bug
bit me again. I bought my first Harley, a 2006 Heritage, in June of 2013,
traded that for a new 2014 Limited in March 2014, then traded that for a
new 2015 CVO Limited in December 2014. After logging 83,500 miles on that
bike, I traded it for a 2019 CVO Limited. It's a wonder Bobette hasn't
divorced me, but she loves riding and making new friends along the
way.
I was a board member of the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, and for five
years I ran their annual Colorado Gold Writing Contest. I received their coveted Jasmine Award for
volunteer service in 2012 and was nominated for "Writer of the
Year" in 2014. I spent 19 years judging various regional writing contests,
attending critique groups, and hosting writer workshops. Now I edit for
self-publishing authors across the country and publish writers from
around the globe.
My books and short stories can be purchased from Amazon Kindle,
B&N Press, Smashwords, and other online
booksellers as well as TWB Press. www.twbpress.com
