I'm a writer from Alberta, Canada.  Mystery writing is the genre I've chosen to explore and enjoy.   After a varied working career as an underground miner, roughneck, gas well tester, cab driver, sewer maintenance worker, meat salesman, open-pit coal miner, federal tax assessor, lumberyard stock-picker, retail salesman, computer programmer, and information technology manager, novel writing marks my latest venture, an exploration of the creative arts.  I live in Lethbridge, Alberta with my wife, one cat, and the occasional rebounding offspring.  I'm currently at work on my second novel.
