I enjoy the serenity of a simple life and appreciate the support I receive from family and friends. I have two wonderful children who stand with me on my endeavors. I live in a small southwestern Wisconsin town nestled among the bluffs and coulees of the area. From my front deck I gaze at a majestic view of the upper Mississippi River. From here I understand the same inspiration Mark Twain wrote about of life on the mighty Miss. I strive to write in a manner that is realistic and convincing to the reader.
