Mason has been a newspaper reporter and magazine editor, and he is currently a freelance writer and editor. Living now in Portland, Oregon, he enjoys backpacking in the Sierras and the Cascades, and he sails his one-man dinghy in storm days on the Willamette River. And, he writes. Three of his novels are available as ebooks: the historical novels The Stained Glass Virgin and March on Magdala and the suspense-thriller Oliver in Bronze.
