LIFE'S BETTER WHEN WRITING

I never intended to become a novel writer. I always thought I might like to become one, but work, family, and life itself kept me from ever seriously pursuing. I also was afraid I didn't have the imagination (turns out I do).

​

That all changed when I retired from the business world, but not before a trip to Ireland, and a chance event there, inspired me with the impetus to get going. The result of course is My Irish Dog. And the result of that is Shadows of My Irish Dog.

​

After spending most of my adult life living and working in Japan (and sometimes traveling to Ireland), I now split my time between Japan and a home in the United States. Taking a break from Irish settings, a third novel is in the works, this time the locale being the beautiful island of Hokkaido in northern Japan.

​

I hope you enjoy reading my books.

​

Sincerely,
