Bio: I grew up in the Pacific Northwest. In fact, many of the landscapes I describe in The Promised Ones can be found there. I attended Humboldt State University as an art student and for a number of years maintained an active studio in Eureka California, a small port city in the heart of the redwoods. My wife and I currently live in the Southwest where I work as a computer graphics expert. In my spare time I play guitar, paint and, of course, write.

The Wells End Chronicles, of which The Promised Ones is only the first book, grew out of a graphic novel I was asked to create. When the outline alone reached 45 pages I knew it was time to just start typing.

Two writers in the sci-fi/fantasy field who have earned my undying respect and admiration have given me a lot of support and a couple of quotes on what they thought of the first book.

"A rip-roaring action adventure that never stops" L.E.M. "He avoids clichés, but when one has to be included he punches it in the nose." J.LeV
