Autorenporträt
After graduating from university in 1981 I met my future spouse and moved to Vancouver, Canada. I worked as a manager for over 30 years, but life now is all about the writing. When I'm not doing that I play racquetball and hang out with my buddy Shadow the kitty when his owners are away. I was fascinated as a kid by the exotic sugar islands of the Caribbean, so it's no surprise my historical fiction novels Dockyard Dog and The Sugar Revolution take you there. The age of sail from the American Revolutionary War through to Waterloo in 1815 grabbed my attention when I got older and I've combined these interests with The Evan Ross Series. Watch for the third book in the series, The Sugar Sacrifice, coming soon.
