My first published books were born from a journal written by my great-great grandfather, a Merchant Marine sailing the Pacific and China seas in the 1800's. China town in San Fransico, and traveling to India, served as a background for my adventure mystery novels; "Tiger Eyes" and "Claws of the Dragon", and the final book in my trilogy. "Blue Lotus".

Living in the tropical paradise of Hawaii, a very mystical spiritual world filled with ancient myths and ledgens, also influenced my writing taking the readers on a journey of mystery and intrig into the ancient burial caves of Hawaii and introuction to Madam Pele the fire goddess of the volcanos.
