Thanks for being a buddy and visiting my website.

Someone asked me what I did the other day. For a living, I mean. I thought for a minute as thinking was better than stuttering and no simple description happened to mind. (There was a time in my life when being able to do a great many things seemed like a valuable asset. But I’m proud to say I’m over that.) 

So I replied, ”I’m retired…sort of.”  Catch the pause, because it was there.  

But that’s how I think about myself most days.  Neither my work nor my other interests get in the way of my writing.  Which is the way it should be.  I mean “writers write,” right?

If you’re visiting this website because you’re looking for Oregon Fast Draw, you can click through on the top navigational bar. The folks at the 2012 Pacific NW Sportsmen’s Show quipped about the experience, ”discover your inner gunslinger!”  We’ve got a new cowboy quick draw club opening in Portland, Oregon in March and we’d love to have you join us.

If you happened here because you’re interested in picking up a great Western read, then hold on cowgirl or cowboy!  The first book in the Ronin series of Westerns, East Jesus, Nevada, won’t be available on Amazon until March.  But take a look around.  You can catch a few excerpts and a great deal of background here while you’re waiting. 

If you’re looking at this site and wondering where you can buy the really cool custom T-shirt I’m wearing standing next to my Hawaiian friend, then click here, and order to your heart’s content.   The “Upside Down Buddha” isn’t just a one of a kind T-shirt or tote bag, it’s a book.  Or maybe a couple of books, depending on how the Muse moves.  And your buying one will keep me in beer until I finish the project.  No really.

Now.  If you’re wondering who I am to be talking this way, or want to know something about my professional background, my writing, shooting or martial arts interests, then you can read about me on LinkedIn.  But why you’d want to do that, I have no idea…
