The familiar lament of dual-career parents raising children is, "I just can't do it all." The Libra Solution provides an alternative - a more satisfying and sustainable work and life approach - to the overwrought modern day norm.
Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
Reared on a ranch in Idaho. Obtained a J.D. in 1978. Practiced law as an army JAG in the Washington, D.C. area. Lived in Wyoming and am now back on that ranch in Idaho. Who says you can't go home again.

I believe that historical fiction should educate as well as entertain. From my teens and into adulthood I read historical fiction, hoping the backgrounds and historic events were accurate. I still carry the stories around in my head.
Having been reared on a ranch close to nature, I delighted in writing about the peasant culture in Brittany in the 17th century with its myths and superstitions, having done in-depth research. My second novel is about a woman who uses her love of nature and her life in the country for strength.
My legal training has helped me, I hope, to write logically and convey the thread of the story from its beginning to its end without confusion, but also to hold the jury's – I mean reader’s -- attention.
