Now, in semi-retirement, my extensive travels and highly diversified interests have provided opportunity to write novels that follow the same diversity of interest exhibited in my professional life. El Tigre was an award-winning historical novel; The Elymais Coin, a contemporary award-winning mystery/adventure dealing with thecomplex religious beliefs of the Middle East and how they may entangle the United States in a web of danger and ubcertainty: Lobo, a just published Civil War novel deals with an unusual interracial relationship. El Tigre II is in its first draft.

My non-vocational interests include hunting and running a trap line in my youth, local and international golf, boating, swimming,sculpting, and competative shooting of single action weapons of the 19th century.
