Author Info

I live in Canada, and my first sixty-five years have included extensive exploration, education, and reading, along with travelling around the world. The early stirrings of this world within came in part from reading such fantasy and sci-fi classics as Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Herbert's Dune series and Asimov's Foundation series. All this informs my personal Utopia Epic Fantasy series. Other aspects include being a member of the LGBTQ community and bringing subtle elements of my life into my work.

Spokes of the Cluster wheel arise, embodying new types of serving these clusters and the larger Cluster-of-Clusters Nation.
