About

I am a North Dakota (rural Midwest USA) native, writer/musician, currently living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. I've also lived for a considerable time in the Pacific Northwest (USA) and briefly in the Southwest (USA). So I suppose restlessness is a part of my nature. I'm never quite at home anywhere in the world. And that is part of why spirituality is the focus of all my writing. My novel, "Song of George/Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man" was published with All Things That Matter Press in July, 2010. I am very happy to be working with this publisher and to be included among their many fine authors. Personally, I have no credentials, other than life itself, which I've noticed, has a certain poetic intensity. Anyway I write, I always have. My wife, Lilasuka (pronounced Leelashooka) and I are part-time performing folk/rock musicians in the greater Pittsburgh and West Virginia Panhandle area. Our band, The Primatives, for which I am the songwriter and guitar player, has two CD's: "The Lovers of Kali Yuga" and "Primitive Spirit".
