Hello! Thanks for visiting my Smashwords page. I'm excited to be writing and publishing my Copper Creek series about small town life in the Southwest, my home territory. Cowboys, horses, Harley motor cycles, food that has that extra chile kick, old dogs and wily cats, these are only a few of my favorite things about the West.
