I have been writing all my life. Most of my adult life was spent as a university professor, so publishing until now has been all academic (but still successful). Once I retired, I returned to a novelistic venture I had been dreaming of since reading Homer's Iliad at 15 years old: bringing to life the further adventures of the hero, Diomedes. I lived in Greece for a year after my BA in Philosophy. During my later years, as an avocation, I studied the Bronze Age in Ancient Greece, as well as theories of myth and ritual. I live alone in the Canadian woods by a big lake and like it very much.
