Growing up on my grandfather's farm in the Colorado River Valley outside Yuma, Arizona, I spent countless hours at night sitting on a canal bank looking up at the brilliant array of stars in the Milky Way. I don't recall any of my thoughts at that time, but know I absorbed something of the amazing nature of the universe.

 

When seven saucer-shaped glowing lights hovered above our property flitting about in some strange aerial dance and then zoomed off at an impossible speed, I knew that there were mysteries in the world that I wouldn't be taught in school.

I don't exclusively write science fiction, but my imagination and curiosity move beyond the range of accepted reality. The question of, "What if?" has always motivated my imagination.
