I'm a retired civilian attorney who worked over thirty years in the Office of the General Counsel for the Department of the Navy.

I am also a retired Navy officer (Captain, JAGC, USNR (Ret.)).

I write short stories and novels set mostly in two very different locations: Tidewater Virginia and New Orleans, Louisiana.
