Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. After 4 years in Seattle, WA, getting a bachelor's degree inphotography from the Univeristy of Washington, I commenced a dual role of professional musician and public relations director. A few years later I started selling real estate, and fater 12 years of that, became an attorney, practicing in the Sacramento, California area. That eventually took me to the Fresno, California area, where I am biding my time, waiting to see where I retire. During my 30+ years in Sacramento, I started writing children's books, and took it up a bit more aggressively after adopting my son from Russia. He liked my stories, and we read so many books, I sometimes needed to fill in with new ones of my own. I look forward to the day when I can call writing my full-time career.
