BSEE Undergrad, MS Psych
Three years Electrical Engineering, learning about technology and logic- and the future thinking of the pros. Logic applies to everything I write. I hate logic breaks, don’t you? As an extreme example, people sailing in a spaceship does not easily lend itself well to the next paragraph having them riding a camel. There must be a way to lead you to it. So, I got something out of engineering, even if my personality was alien to it. I was eleven years a California Highway Patrol Officer, learning about cops and courtrooms, cars and car chases, how to shoot straight, and how to be a cop. And yes, work with many of the good and honest cops from detectives to leaders, traffic to crime scene investigators. That, too, could not hold my interest. Once mastered, it had no challenge. I was more interested in the human mind, how it worked, and how to help people understand one another. During and after the pursuit of my masters in psychology, and, yes, a serious logic break from electrical engineering, I was three years a motivational speaker and seminar leader for Positive Living Seminars. This was Zig Ziglar and Norman Vincent Peale’s organization. There, I learned how people think, and how to help them think better of themselves. But that was still not the use I had in mind for the masters. The next twenty five years I provided management consulting services focused in the testing, hiring, training and management of people to small and large sales oriented companies alike. I focused on training and development, company growth and interpersonal communications. I’ve written nonfiction magazine articles for hiring and development since the 1980s. During all my consulting years and my seminar work, I have been called a Storyteller, and I began trying that out in the world of fiction in 1995. At the time, I was traveling eighty to ninety percent, alone in airports, airplanes, and hotels far too many hours. Lots of time to get in trouble… or to write. Luckily, I love to write. Now, semiretired, I live in the Tampa Bay area in west-central Florida. More time to follow my passion, writing fun, sometimes scary, but always entertaining novels. Please, enjoy the books as they are intended, a storyteller’s attempt to give you, for a short while, an escape to another realm. Look for anthologies, they can save you money with sometimes a three book series in one… |
Wolf's Nightmare - The Anthology
|
Paranormal Suspense/Thriller
Native Americans hold a belief in shape-shifters, that ability to be an animal on call. Into this life comes a strong young woman, half Blackfoot, half white who is determined to protect her heritage, and the domain of the wolf in northern Montana. Smart, talented and unrelenting, Dusty works herself from jail duty to the responsible position of Resident Deputy Sheriff for Lincoln County, Montana, where men are men and women better be damned tough! But she lives under two sets of law. Man's and the 'shifters. She cannot kill a human as wolf. She cannot shift before a human, and she cannot reveal her nature to a human. In this dangerous land and deadly struggle, she is stretching the lines as far as she dares. With the repatriation project stalling, a rogue wolf killing hikers and campers and poachers stealing wolf pups, the Feds send in a special troubleshooter. He is a hunter of lawless 'shifters... and an FBI agent. This man, Crow, has his own secrets. He is drawn into the wolf repatriation project, the battle against those that would kill to stop it... or take advantage of it. He is also drawn to the determined woman who is protecting this land and the wolves in every way she knows how. And the two discover yet another type of wolf, one uncontrollable by the simple wolves, the ‘shifters, or even the authorities. There’s danger at every turn. There are territorial animals on both sides of the pale, and the two have to walk the line between them using cunning, strength, and often, the ability to kill. Can the two save their precious wolves, put down the ruthless killer, stop the poachers and keep each other to hand and heart? Maybe so. But, once a proven commodity, they are in demand. Will it never end?
