Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my world of writing. I hope you enjoy browsing and reading the beginning chapters and in some cases the synopsis’ of my novels, children’s stories, short stories, articles, non-fiction and pictorial essays. Some of my photographs will soon be included and I hope you will enjoy viewing them as well.

‘Roller Coaster Ride With Brain Injury (For Loved Ones)’ has recently been published.  This non-fiction book has been published by Trafford Publishing and can be ordered at:  www.trafford.com/08-0107, or orders@trafford.com or by phoning toll-free at: 1-888-232-4444.

‘Roller Coaster Ride With Brain Injury (For Loved Ones)’ was written because of the woeful lack of information available for family members who are trying to cope with the devastating impact of brain injury in their lives.  I felt that a book such as this would help others going through this difficult time to know they are not alone.  No one told me that a brain injury could change someone so drastically; that they couldn’t remember who had visited five minutes after the person had left and, that I would be treated like someone he hated most in the world.  I did not know that this is all very typical behaviour by those who are suffering from brain injury.  My book tells of our journey along the path of progress during our first year.  There are many lessons to learn in that first year; one of them is that there can be an end to the roller coaster ride. 

Of the articles included on this website, many have been published in various magazines and newspapers in both Canada and the United States. Some of my photographs have also been published in the newspaper as well as in smaller magazines.  My first fiction book, “His Sins” will be published shortly.

My family and friends and writing and photography are the heart of my life.
