I grew up in the city of East Wenatchee in Washington State with a four year stop-over in Richland Washington between ages 11 and 15, moved to the Spokane, Washington area after I turned 23 and have lived in the area ever since.  At the age of 26 (just before turning 27), I went to Eastern Washington University and Majored in Computer Science with Minors in Math and Physics (I graduated in 1994 with a 3.3 GPA).  I took a creative writing course while in college and discovered I had a talent for writing stories.  I have a friend who hated a certain professor.  I always imagined him sitting on a rooftop sighting a scope on that professor.  That’s how the opening pages of The Voice came to be.

And of course, being an avid reader did help with my becoming a writer.  I discovered Stephen King at the age of 23 and began reading everything he published.  And that's how I became a writer.

About seven years ago, I discovered I had severe shoulder arthritis.  This severely limits how I type, since I can barely reach the keyboard with my right hand (I use it mostly to hit the Shift key).  Thus, I can only type using the index finger of my left hand.   And, that's how I wrote Book II and about half of Book I of The Voice.
