Raised as an Air Force military brat, I later married a military service member in the Army. I have traveled the world and the USA.

As a young person I worked a winter at Mt. Hood ski lodge. Later a stable hand for two prestigious stables in Oregon, that led to the desire to own land and have a ranch.

I worked in the field for a Petroleum geologist company in Ventura, California. Fished for salmon in Alaska on the Kenai peninsula. Worked for Pinkerton as an armed and unarmed security officer. Worked security while in Germany for the University of Maryland. Also worked on base in Mannheim Germany as a telephone operator. Back stateside I earned my Criminal Justice degree while working full time once more for Pinkerton, which later became Securitas. Then to the streets as a police officer. I now own land in Colorado.

I grew up a Star Trek, and later a Star Wars fan, as an older adult a fan of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. Spent long nights listening to Art Bell on coast to coast and later George Noory. Love the unique aspects of the History channel.

I have two beautiful girls now grown with children of their own, and seven intelligent, beautiful and inquisitive grandchildren. I live on the Eastern plains of Colorado with the company of my pup, Sadie.

This story was a journey for me. I always wrote, especially in times of stress, though not professionally. Science fiction an easy love for me. But then I read one man's life's work regarding academia and Ancient Gods, which led my imagination to flow, thinking.

What if this could be real? What if tales of rumored ancient civilizations and Gods held truth? How did it all fit together? It awoke something exciting; a story to somehow make the Ancient Gods become real, their history deeply intertwined with our history. I hope to take you on a similar journey.
