I have worked in producing gold mines and have worked the different processes used to extract gold from gravel. I am also an adventurer; I love travelling, exploring old back roads, and the miracle of nature. Since my early teens, I have wanted to write my own book. This first manuscript has taken me over twenty years to get it where it is today. Since I often work in isolated camps and usually work seven days a week, ten to twelve hours a day, I found it difficult to find the time to keep up with writing. Since I have semi-retired, I have found the time I need and have two other manuscripts in this series that just require editing. I have lived most of my life in various parts of Yukon, Northern British Columbia, Alberta, and Vancouver Island, right in the area where this first manuscript takes place.view less
