Author’s Bio…

Foreground Me, Background Pyramid Lake in Nevada

I was born in Oakland, California in 1951. I have toured for decades across the United States and Canada. I lived for a while near the Grand Canyon in Arizona. I did another chunk of time on a 17 acre farm near Corvallis, Oregon. I’ve lived in the back of my truck, trailer, or sailboat almost longer than I’ve lived in a house. I’ve lived in San Francisco longer than any other place. Started out with a circus, still work as a street act, do festivals, libraries, and community events. I’ve trained two performing dogs and for a while I ended my show juggling fire while balancing a live chicken on my head. I’m a husband and father. I’ve written plays, short stories, song lyrics, and poetry. A few pieces on juggling were published in Juggling World Magazine. Since then I’ve turned my attention to long fiction. I finished my first novel Highway Home in 2009. I have finished my second novel Bankrupt Heart and plotting a third, Hot Spring Honeymoon.
