After what seemed to be a lifetime writing technical manuals for a very large Seattle-based aerospace corporation, and getting tired of writing deathless prose like "Press Enter," I thought to write something more fun that would let me quit tech writing, set my own hours, and have more time to write what I really wanted to write — historical fiction.
As it turned out, that was erroneous thinking, because I ultimately realized that writing other nonfiction could be just as difficult to break into as writing fiction, and I already had enough time to write fiction on the side if I organized myself better.
Before I learned that, however, I wrote numerous horticultural articles and three books. Click on the image to learn more about each book.
