The idea for the story came to me in 1998, I was with a group of people talking about Tiger Woods. I was surprised when the writing bug bit me. I'm very grateful to be a full time writer starting in 2015. Our young adult children are our pride and joy. I live in a small co-housing community in Berkeley, California, with my wonderful wife, Rinda and our beloved dog, Hazel. Spiritual themes that cross over multiple religious traditions come directly from working as the Director of Children and Family Ministries at the First Unitarian Church in Oakland. You can see that my birth experiences are reflected in my novels. There are scenes in Yellow Crocus that were largely influenced interactions I had with children from Woolsey.Īs a birth doula I had the privilege of witnessing the intensity and joy of childbirth. I was the founder and director of Woolsey Children's School where I had first hand experience loving children that were not my own. My passion for early childhood education, child birth and religious education are reflected in my writing. My education and experience in multiracial, developmental psychology and attachment theory provide ample fodder for my novels.
