I was born, raised and have spent my entire adult life living in the city of Edmonton, Alberta. During that time I have been married to my wife Sharon for eighteen years. We currently have two dogs; Misty a fourteen year old German Shepard/Black Lab cross, and Molly a Golden Lab/Golden Retriever cross. We all live on an acreage inside the city limits where we enjoy the best of both worlds. Nature is all around us. We decided long ago to make Edmonton our permanent place of residence until we retired, due to its vitality and the unparalleled heart of the city. My wife and I embrace the four seasons which this fine city has to offer. To be an Edmontonian brings with it a source of deep pride, much in the same I felt while I was writing The Four Stone: Gemini. ISBN: 1-4137-9485-8 Without my roots being so firmly planted in Alberta, I do not believe I would have been the person I have become. The opportunity this province offers abounds. Not just in these days of heightened prosperity, but through the other years as well. Even the worst of times pale in comparison to other places in this country or world in comparison. It is those experiences which in the long term have aided and nurtured my creative and business endeavors. Needless to say, I am a dyed in the wool Albertan who is extremely proud of where I have been, where I am, and where I shall continue to live for a very long time. I originally conceived the concept of The Four Stones: Gemini while reading my daily horoscope in one of Edmonton’s newspapers. I created another world in another time, sixty-five and a half million years ago. I believe it to be more of a Murder Mystery than a tale of Science Fiction, but I will leave that for you to decide as I am obviously biased in that regard.
