I am a tale-spinner. My childhood heroes were Jules Verne and Victor Appleton II, architects of fantastic adventures. Hemingway stepped in when I discovered that the trials and triumphs of real people - those with limited physical and financial resources - were even more intriguing than science fiction. Today I try to follow that example with my own characters. They are the 'you and me' of the world, ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances, beaten down perhaps and yet determined to succeed. Invariably they find adventure, romance and self-fulfillment, as should we all.

When not absorbed in the pages of some new author or hammering away at my latest manuscript I can be found living and running in Stowe, VT. Visit my website at http://www.CabsLantern.com and feel free to drop me a line at CabsLantern@gmail.com.
