I Grew up in Los Angeles, before it became a 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.

In Heaven's Garden

IZ

A fantasy tale in a young Heaven, where Jiva and Lucifer are madly in love. They live with their three little angels— Beelzebub, Gabriel, and Oshun. Lucifer, their mother, becomes bored with Heaven and wants more. Jiva, their father, doesn’t understand. Through playful gardens and dark deeds, a host of angels and gods are forced to choose sides, which leads to an epic battle, and Jiva is forced to cast Lucifer out of Heaven.

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."
