About the Author 

I was born and raised on a farm in eastern South Dakota. The land rolled in a flat line around the horizon. I now live in the foothills of Colorado where there is not a single flat line. I began writing as a child in elementary school as a means to impress my peers. Fascinated by history and mystery, that is what I create, historical novels and mysteries.
