Let's keep it short and sweet. I've been an environment, health, safety and sustainability professional for quite some time, and a lover of the written word for even longer. I live in medium-sized river city in Pennsylvania, where my family has lived for more than 250 years "Brother Bear and the Thin Ice" was my first published book. Not only have I written the books you see on Blurb, I also have written two young adult novels and one mainstream novel. The mainstream novel is still looking for a home. The young adult novels never found one.
