The Lesson

My latest novel, The Lesson, has just been published.

I prefer to do my own cover art. I did this watercolor painting to reflect a key element in the book.

It’s hard to believe another year passed and 2024 has arrived. The observation, time passes more quickly as we get older certainly rings true. Regardless, I thought getting another book published would be a great start to the year.

Awakened in a world of endless beauty, I meet a mystical man who tells me he has been waiting for my arrival, that he is here to teach me a lesson. Traveling through a surreal and magical landscape, I meet its inhabitants, each with a story to tell. My quest to discover ‘the lesson’ takes me on a journey of self discovery across both time and meaning, blurring the boundaries of reality and delusion.

The only requirement is an open mind, an open heart, and a good-sized dose of curiosity.

First of all, let me borrow a line from the Grateful Dead...what a long strange trip its been. I grew up in Appalachia, not far from Wheeling, West Virginia. I decided at seventeen that working in the coal mines was not for me and soon found myself standing at an on-ramp with my thumb out. It was the Sixties and adventure beckoned. I'm a self taught artist, primarily focusing on the natural world. I enjoy painting the flora and fauna of this beautiful planet. I currently live in Arizona, and most of my recent works reflect the inhabitants of the Sonoran desert.
