About the Author

Short stories, opinion pieces, and novels—take your pick. Living on the edge in the grandeur of Alaska for many years informs my worldview, but the stories range far beyond our almost endless boundaries.

What Readers Are Saying

Wild Guesses and Dreams is full of emotional connections, humor, mishaps, sadness, and joy.

An excellent, heartfelt journey through the canals of England. So well written, you’ll feel like you’re part of the crew.

A lovely read about a world that no longer exists for adolescents.

A charming memoir, and a valentine to friendship.
