I am a writer after many years of corporate existence. My first book was The Telemachia, which was awarded a literary prize in Historical/Military Fiction in 2008 from Independent Publishers. I completed my next one, Heaven Walker, 2013. This novel is located in Catalonia in the twelfth century, based on the art of the Master of Cabestany. My next novel, All the Clouds, was published in 2018. The is set in Perpignan in southern France during World War II, based on real accounts of life during the occupation. Like birds, my wife and I move between Berkeley, Winters, and Banyuls-sur-Mer, depending on the time of year, the weather, and our moods. We love the seas that surround us and keep us warm.
