I grew up in the Midwest along the Mississippi River in a small community. After a 40-year career as a Doctor of Chiropractic managing a multi-doctor clinic, retirement gave me the time to work on book concepts I had percolating for several years. i had only previously published professional papers and a manual on a complicated software that analyzed spinal x-rays, so my first book Crystal Guardián of the Five Worlds was published in 2021 and is available on Amazon.com My new series Tales Told by a Tinker have just been published in May of 2022.
