I have lived in the Columbia River Gorge for many, many years and have witnessed many changes in this area. As a teenager, I rode my horses through these mountains and trails. Later on, I traveled the back-roads by vehicle and by motorcycle, camping and exploring as much as I could. I’ve loved communing alone with nature and photographing all the beautiful things I’ve seen. I’ve found that being alone out in the mountains frees my imagination for writing. I have published several magazine articles. This is my first novel. I hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.
