I spent nearly 20 years deciding whether or not I wanted to be an author. My field is information technology, and I specialize on manufacturing systems. It's technical, challenging, and requires you to stay focused and current with changes in the industry.

I started going to a fantasy world in my mind many years ago, and the adventures of Peter and Alexandra were my escape from the harsh technical world all around me. The twins were enthusiastic, energetic, eager to go out and explore their world, and willing to take on any challenge necessary. I have often said that I travel to the Upper Aren and come back and write about it, and I really do feel that way at times.

My own eclectic interests fueled the twin's activities, as I have been done a little of everything in my life. I suspect it's because of my adult attention deficit disorder, and a need to try everything at least once.

Though I am an American, and was born in Washington State, I currently live in Penang, Malaysia and travel the region on both business and pleasure regularly.

I hope you enjoy the adventures of my characters and they become a part of your lives, as they have long been a part of mine.
