About Me

I am a gold medal-winning historical fiction writer living in Montecito, California, with my wife, Jo. I’m a graduate of the Santa Barbara Writers Conference, and an invited participant at the Community of Writers at Squaw Valley conference.

My newest historical novel, THE GIRL FROM THE LIGHTHOUSE was published in early 2019 to high praise and strong reviews. My previously published books of California historical fiction, DREAM HELPER, DELFINA’S GOLD, and THEIR GOLDEN DREAMS, are part of his CHRONICLES OF CALIFORNIA trilogy. DREAM HELPER was awarded a Gold Medal from The Independent Book Publishers Association in 2009.
