Welcome to my website, the cyber portal to
my life. You may be here because you’ve read one of
my books and want to know more about me––or you
might have wandered in from the vast Internet sea, searching
for something that seemed unrelated. You clicked . . . and
bingo! You’re here.
However, whatever––you are
here.
You’ll be able to find out a lot about me on this
site. Before we get into that, I want to tell you about my
writing and what I hope that you get from it. I’d love
it if you read my work and felt the earth trembling beneath
you and the glory of the universe streaming through your
soul. I’d be very happy if that happened, preferably
within the first few sentences. By book’s end, I want
to move you to know something extraordinary and very much
your own. Something custom made, just for you––because
it is you.
I want you to experience the world I visit when I write,
the world on the other side. I want to show you the noumenon,
the thing-in-itself. Pure being. The ocean of love.
I want to revel in it with you.
As you discover more about me on this
site, you’ll
find that I love horses. I live on a horse ranch and have
ridden most of my life. There’s so much hype about
horses now; everybody’s got a system to sell or a workshop
to fill. Horse trainers have groupies.
When you’re around horses with me, I want you to be
quiet and listen to what's there. I want you to know horses
energetically and in a yogic fashion. I want you to experience
the power within you and act from that, in your own true
way. Instead of being someone’s follower, I'd like
you to experience yourself as a mighty oak, sunk so deeply
into the ground of being that nothing can dislodge you, filling
the heavens with your outstretched limbs. If you ride a horse
in that state, the result is bliss. It's Samadhi, enlightenment,
the experience of the Divine.
Some might say I have outrageous aspirations. I say: Far
better to shoot for a lofty target and fall short than to
leave your gun in the closet and whine.
I write about many things, but spiritual
and religious experience underlies every word. That’s what I really write about.
That’s what I live for. I’d like you to join
me.
Happy exploring! Please return again and
again––you
are always welcome here.
Award News!
In 2007, I entered the two books I've
got in print, Stepping Off the Edge and Numenon, in three
contests.
Much to my ecstatic surprise, I won in all
three. Stepping Off the Edge was a Finalist in the 2007 Benjamin
Franklin Awards in the New Age Category. It won a Bronze
Medal in Self Help in the 2007 IPPYs. And it was a 2007 Indie
Excellence finalist in Memoir, Self Help, and Spirituality.
(These contests are like the Academy Awards: The competition
is so stiff that you get to call yourself a winner if you're
if you're a finalist.)
Numenon, my novel that isn't even out yet,
WON the Indie Excellence Award for Religious Fiction category
as a galley! Talk about hot off the presses! The printer
sent the books to the contest the instant they were completed;
they received my copies Numenon on the last day they could
be included in the judging. Smokin'!
Do I hope to give Dan Brown a run for his
money with my Bloodsong Series?
Yeah. But I need you for that. Take a look
at my web site. Read the excerpts from my books here on the
web site. Check out my tales of life with horses and dogs
and family. Read what others have said about my book. If
you're moved to buy them and read them, if you like what
you read, please tell your friends about my work.
My work is about changing the world. For
that, I need your help.
