A Pacific Northwest Author — Born in Forsyth, Montana, educated in Missoula, pining for the glassy, early morning waters of Flathead.
Ten early years in Riggins, Idaho, down along the Salmon. The flavors of peaches, icy streams, forest fire smoke, and brook trout still on my tongue. Those quirky, off-beat characters wandering through my psyche most often hail from that arid canyon with its mesmerizing river.
On to Oregon’s Willamette Valley. As sweet and tart as its blueberries in July–I will always be romanced by its produce. Birthplace of my son–my inspiration.
