My songs have been featured in a magazine, aired on a U.S. Radio station, played over seas and are currently being played on more than 5 dozen internet radio stations. I authored a weekly newspaper column on Songwriting and Home Recording, the founder of Home_Recording, a large online recording group that has been around since 98, and I own a modest studio running Protools 7 recording software. I was commissioned to master both the Christmas and New Years CDs that were sent free of charge to the Canadian troops serving overseas and I wrote and narrated a self-help guided meditation CD.  I am the founder of VENTmail Online, the Official online group for Ventriloquism, and I created its sister site, ChristianVENTS back in mid or early 90's I believe.  Both groups are still going strong although I do not actively do ventriloquism anymore. I am currently living in the picturesque Margaree River Valley, Cape Breton, where I finished my first novel, DEAD HUNT, which will be released as an audiobook March, 2010 I am also writing another novel, BLOOD CURSE that should be ready for release in the spring of 2010.
