~ Every adventure is a chance to live the way you dream. ~
Raised in the Midwest by baby boomers, I lived well with plenty of opportunity and love from the German and Italian sides that crowd my life. My family is big and nosy, and yelling is loving. I was brought up to take charge in life and, as long as it’s important to you, never half-ass anything.
When I’m not writing, current pastimes include reading, watching movies, bingeing re-runs, and Forge of Empires. On the side, I keep tabs on my research too. It comes with the territory when writing such a story about the real King Arthur and all its associations. Authenticity is crucial. The first installment of the series, Virago, is complete and available on Amazon as an eBook and in paperback. My other recent work, A Year with December, has been serialized as episodes only on the Radish app. The first season is complete and I will resume the next in Winter 2027/early 2028.
The sequel to Virago has been steady in motion since March 2023 and scheduled to be completed in Spring 2026.
Aside from historical fiction, I’m exploring a multitude of genres; contemporary, thriller, romance, as well as fantasy and sci-fi brew on my Google Drive.

What Do You Enjoy Most About Writing?
The fact that writing a story, a good original story, cannot be planned. It comes in bouts of inspiration and randomness, and when you’re lucky enough to get a moment like that, you become consumed in it. After the scene is typed on the screen, you want to go back and read it over and over.
What Do You Look Forward to Most of Upcoming & Current Adventures?
To put my restlessness to good use, put aside the ‘what-ifs’ of life, and take action. To get lost in a place that expands my perspective. To attain new opportunities of any kind. To experience moments that inspire narrative.
