I was raised in Northeastern Minnesota, on the edge of Boundary Waters.
I couldn't wait to leave, and moved to Minneapolis when I was young,
eventually I ended up clear on the other side of Minnesota. I'm married
and I have two grown sons, one in California the other in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
Now I wish with all my heart I could go back to the wilderness, find a nice little cabin by the Shagawa river and write. I've been published in several small press zenes, my favorite being Thunder Sandwich. A book titled Healing Tree was recently published by Rank Stranger Press.

I'm also a visual artist specializing in colored pencil drawings on black paper. My subjects are still life and Minnesota landscapes.
Recently published in my favorite e-zine I finally release five of my 'Gypsy Red' poems. http://www.thundersandwich.net/ts28/index.html
