I was born in Pocatello, Idaho. It was a good place to grow up in the 1950s. I lived in Las Vegas, NV, for over forty years.  Both locations have influenced my writing.  I was once asked why I use Idaho and especially Pocatello in my books.  A writer is always encouraged to write about what he knows.  In my case, that is where I lived, where I grew up, and where the foundations of my sense of right and wrong were formed.  In Las Vegas, I grew as an adult as the city grew and matured.  When I moved to Las Vegas in 1968 with my mother, the population was 50,000.  We left and went back to Pocatello.  When I returned in 1978, the population was 220,000. When I left for Oregon in 2021, the population was over 2 million.  That kind of growth involves significant drama and change.  That also influenced my writing.  My books will tell you a lot about me.  But more than that, I hope they entertain.
