I've had the good fortune to do some pretty memorable things in my life. I have scaled a rock face in the majestic Columbia River Gorge. I've jumped from a perfectly good airplane simply for the thrill. I've seen the ruins of ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. Stood on the shores of the Persian Gulf, gazing across the emerald sea. I even spent six months of my life in the withering cold and awe-inspiring beauty of Antarctica. Those experiences did much to fuel my wandering imagination. Life is calmer now. A family, a career, a home. My wandering imagination now finds its place on the page. I feel that my fiction draws from the love of history, myth and legend that my experiences have inspired in me.
