          His first published novel, Cloud Warriors, a stand-alone action/adventure story, was published by John Hunt Publishing (UK).

          The Reaper, his second published novel, is the first book of the Chimera Chronicles series that revolves around the disappearance of a famous painting and how it set in motion a psychological, political and legal war between a struggling artist and his estranged mother, seventy-five later.

          The Sower, the second book in this saga, will be released in Spring, 2021.

He is the father of three adult children, four grandchildren, one great-grandchild and countless other “adopted” children of all ages, shapes and sizes.
