Former secondary language teacher.Established WEEDS CORNER MAGAZINE in 2001 to encourage "unpublished weeds" to bloom in an editorial world which appears to prefer violence and erotica. Published From the Cornfield Ghetto in June, 2006, a light-hearted collection of short stories and novelllas about life in the conservative, almost paranoiac area of central Indiana. Am working on a prequel of that at the moment. Major influences: Camus, Malraux, politics and environmental debates. Also enjoy "cozy" mysteries.

Birth Place: New Castle, IN USA

Accomplishments: Invited to the 2006 Indiana History Center Book Fair in 2006.
THE WRIGHTS OF HAWTHORN STREET written for and presented at 2003 Centennial celebrations for the First Powered Flight.
