I Grew up in Los Angeles, before it became an amusement park, where I spent years jumping from pub to club in various bands of ill repute, chasing dreams with my guitar.

I found time to raise 5 amazing human beings tho...and they are all better than me at almost everything. But as the gigs slowed down, and the children got older...I found myself writing stories instead of songs.

As part of the great exodus, I moved from California with my family to Tennessee in 2018.

Writing gives the child in this ol' soul of mine a place to play, and pondering humanity's search for meaning is a powerful passion. I have come to feel that the world's religions are pieces to a much larger puzzle...a puzzle in harmony with evolution and science. Lately tho, I've begun to worry that we will never be able to finish putting that puzzle together if we don't take better care of each other and our planet. This feeling led me to write "In Heaven's Garden", as a way to explore these ideas.

"Try and penetrate with our limited means the secrets of nature and you will find that, behind all the discernible concatenations, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion. To that extent I am, in point of fact, religious."

Albert Einstein

Jiva : An ancient sanskrit word meaning life. Out of respect for all religions, atheists, and science...the name "Jiva" is used in this story as the name for "God"...the mysterious and ever present

"I am."
