  The Author

  It's been an eventful journey from Anchorage, Alaska, where I was born over six decades ago, to San Diego, California where I currently reside with my wife.

  Between these two destinations, I've spent years overseas, earned two college degrees, held many jobs, and found a wonderful marriage partner.

  My first attempt at a novel was entitled The Lure. It was a crime drama centered on the modern-day surfacing of a 110-carat yellow diamond that was lost during the French Revolution. In 1980, in preparation for the book, I spent two wonderful weeks researching the Brazilian people, their language, and the religious customs of Candomblé. The day I returned from Rio, I had my first date with my wife-to-be, Peggy Giels.

  Over the past thirty-four years, I outlined dozens of novels, but a busy career limited my efforts to complete a single one. Now, the time has come, and I've thoroughly enjoyed planning, researching, and writing my first novel—in fact, the entire series.

  I was a young teenager when I discovered the joy of reading. Today, I hope, through my stories, I’m sharing that joy.
