Writer, Adventurer, Businessman
I have been invited to attend the Virginia Festival of the Book in Charlottesville in March 2012! See details in "Events".
Based in Blacksburg, Virginia, I explore and write about our wonderful region of the central Appalachians. I love to ride my bicycle, ride my motorcycle, and hike. I've been known to make stained glass panels, watch birds, explore caves, cross-country ski, and fly kites. I love to travel (Who doesn't?) and have been to 43 states and 12 foreign countries.
My first book is The Spine of the Virginias, a non-fiction look at the people, places, history and culture along the border of Virginia and West Virginia.
My second book is Union, WV, a novel about healing and redemption in a small West Virginia town.
My third book is Harmonic Highways, Exploring Virginia's Crooked Road, a non-fiction journey featuring the music, arts, sports, and people of Virginia's Heritage Music Trail.
I am now working on my fourth book, tentatively titled Fries, VA, a novel about a national calamity from the view of a young woman trapped by circumstances in a tiny Southwest Virginia community. I hope to release it in late winter, 2012.
I also write for The News Messenger, Blue Ridge Country magazine, Motorcycle Cruiser magazine, Backroads Motorcycle TourMagazine, and Greenbrier Quarterly magazine.
