I taught myself writing the same way I learned programming, the guitar, and photography; by trying things, messing them up, and keeping at it. I spent many uncomfortable nights shooting high school sports and rodeos, and more than twelve years writing novels for kids and teens. These days I’m enjoying writing adult fiction.

I grew up in the Boston area, where summers meant baseball and winters meant shoveling my nana’s driveway. After almost three decades of New England cold, I headed west and settled in Arizona’s Valley of the Sun. But after 23 years of the scorching sun, I retreated to the Arizona White Mountains in 2020 where you’ll fine me hiking and doing photography.
