I left high school early to join the army in order to get away from the endless chores on the family farm. I received an honorable discharge from the army in West Germany in late March 1967 and stayed in Europe for another year, mainly in the United Kingdom, working my way around the country. I met a young English schoolteacher from Harrow, a leafy suburb of West London, and married Nikki on October 7, 1967.
Nikki passed away on February 21, 2011, after forty-four years of marriage. I started writing our life story to tell the world how wonderful and blessed our life had been. From that first book, Harrow Girls/Promises Kept, which was a labor of love, I started writing about our travels and our dogs. Realizing how much I enjoyed it, I started writing spy novels with my early days on the Czechoslovakia and East German borders while serving in the US Army as a backdrop. Later, our lives took us to Eastern Europe after the Iron Curtain came down, where we traveled to buy antiques and explore the once cut-off countries of the Soviet Bloc.view less
