Bio
I grew up in a small northern California town in the middle of nowhere, learning most of my lessons from nature the hard way. Since then I've moved to Santa Barbara, CA, fallen in love with the sea AND a woman, and had three wonderful kids.

The Ones Who Remember
She'd forgotten him, and in that he'd lost everything. “Get away from me!” She screamed, writhing against his athletic arms as he secured her ties to a seat.

He was lucky if she noticed he was breathing.

Naming the Serpent
The creature slithered down to her, its scales gliding over the rough branches of the Forbidden Tree, tongue flicking in and out with a teasing rhythm at the heavy pears loading the branches. Tear shaped leaves scattered sunlight across its curved back, scales sparkling like the diamonds her Father had shown her. Every movement the creature made was a picture of mountains at sunset, every sway an iris blooming to face the dawn.

Red Memories
He’d long stopped crying. That was for the saddest things. “Who are you! What’s happening?” She screamed, writhing against her restraints, her eyes twitching between his face and the car mirror. Three days ago she could still remember his face, but now? A whistle pierced the air of the burnt down city, marked by a new streak of red smoke in the sky.
