I leaped from the corporate world to become a glass blower and graphics artist and settled on a small farm in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana with my sole mate, Bill Grout. In 2006, I penned my first book, "Sea Beavers & Rattle Slugs," a collection of fun and delightful short stories dedicated to my son's childhood in Seattle. Illustrating the book with photos and my drawings. My son was a fun li
ttle boy, and now, a successful and still fun man, with his children, my fun little grandkids. After countless readings to my grandchildren, I infused my writing with my artwork, creating books that bring joy to both the reader and the listener. My books are not just children's stories but also art books filled with my drawings and paintings.
