I have escaped into books as long as I can remember! Orwell, Rand, Auel and many more, shaped my early thoughts. Then from a dairy farm in Minnesota I escaped into the military to see the world and selected Alaska as home, where I have spent the majority of my adult life. I love people but seek solitude to keep my mind right. My books are but dreams that I have had that will not leave me alone until I give them life by writing them down. I like to think of myself as a modern day Viking and fantasize about what that actually means. Tho I write for sanity's sake, I hope you enjoy the journeys with me. I hope that I can have an impact on my readers the way my hero's have done on me. My dear friends, don't look back, you are not going that way...forward to Valhalla!!!
