On my site you’ll find:

· Information about my books.  I have three nonfiction books already published:  Timeline Charts of the Western Church, Starting and Running Your Own Martial Arts School, Legends of the Martial Arts Masters.  My fourth book, an historical novel entitled Clare, is available from my own imprint, Alcuin House Publishing.  I am currently working on another nonfiction book, Mind of Martial Arts.

· A timeline of the Life of Martin Luther.  Since everyone asks, no, I am not a Lutheran, but I have always been fascinated by Luther’s life.  The timeline contains some of my research and links to other sites about Luther on the Web.

· An answer to the question I hear most at parties:  “I have an idea for a book (or some writing I’ve done, or a full manuscript, or. . . whatever).   How would I go about getting that published?  Here are my thoughts on the Writers’ Info Page.

· If you’re looking for information about the dojo where I teach, or about self defense classes, you can find it on the KoSho Karate Pantano Web site.

· My CV   In case you're curious about the connection between Luther, writing, and martial arts, here’s a snapshot of my journey so far.  The connection?  Um, just me.

I'm a writer living and working in Arizona.  I also teach karate and personal safety at KoSho Karate Pantano.  My current interests-- some might say obsessions-- include the history of martial arts and the similarities between Eastern and Western mind/body training.  In my spare time, I read biographies, play Irish tin whistle, perform cooking and baking experiments, and practice Tai Chi and Okinawan Shuri-ryu karate.
