ABOUT ME
I grew up on a small horse farm in the shadow of Mt. Rainier and Mt. Saint Helens. Surrounded by over a thousand acres of thick forest, creepy beaver ponds, and golden cropland, it was not difficult to become immersed in the romantic fantasy of fairy woods and the ancient past.
Now I live in the suburban sprawl of Orange County in Southern California, and I must access that romantic fantasy of ancient history through reading, research, and writing.
I dabbled in screenwriting, winning the Nichol Fellowship from the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences, and I direct the undergraduate writing programs in Rhetoric and Creative Writing, as well as teach, at Chapman Univerist in Orange, CA. My scholarly writing has appeared in academic books and journals, my short stories in literary journals, and I keep a blog of various musings.
In the end, however, I must always return to that first love spurned by adventuring the dark and mossy forests of Washington State and the fantastic stories of the ancient worlds of my ancestors, the Celts and the Germanic peoples.
