After earning a Master's degree in Education, I taught high school and college literature and writing in California and Illinois. I was fortunate to be selected as a Fulbright Exchange Teacher to Stanground College in Cambridgeshire, England.

I took an early retirement from teaching and moved to Sedona, Arizona, where I completed my first novel, Choices, which was published by iUniverse press.

In Sedona, I met Bev Kephart, a professional artist, and we hiked almost every national forest trail. After ten years in Sedona, we bought a small motor home. For seven years, we traveled throughout the US, working at RV resorts. We traveled through Canada to spend a summer working in Alaska, and the following year, drove to Mexico. After traveling for seven years, we chose to settle in the village of Ajijic, in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, where we joined the small ex-pat artist and writing community.

My last two novels, Counterfeit Killing and Catch A Killer, Save the World, and my book of short stories, A Cold Killing, feature a detective, Aaron Guerevich, who works with his fiancée Ann Berendt, a crime scene forensic analyst. They are also major characters in the novel I am currently writing.

However, my passion is poetry, especially Japanese haiku. I have published five books of haiku, all available on Amazon.
