This is my reserved spot on what used to be called the information highway. But my handicaps (mostly polio-related) are not what I write about. Not directly, anyway.

I write "imaginative fiction" -- by which people apparently mean that Tolstoy was not imaginative, but Tolkien was. If that's the case, then I guess you could say I write "unimaginative fiction," too. And non-fiction. And essays.

My first ebook is "Wodin's Day," a re-consideration of Norse mythology as told by the dwarf Alberich. The nicest thing any reviewer said about it is this: "There are a number of surprises in the plot line," which I consider pretty good praise.

I am now working on a book inspired by Babylonian mythology as it has come to us through the Old Testament. More on that as it becomes available, but here's my first cover idea.

My non-fiction book -- a printed volume, purchased and published by an established press -- is "The Half Not Told: The Civil War in a Frontier Town," which chronicles the war in Northwest Missouri. It has footnotes, which is good because it allows you to check the resources yourself if you want to, and not just take my word for things.

I will post some free stories occasionally, like The River Bends, which is available now. Also you can read my national park essays, some of which have appreared in slightly different forms on the National Parks Traveler website.
