ABOUT

I come by my love of storytelling naturally. Story was a way of life in my family. Both of my grandfathers wove yarns as part of their everyday life. Grandpa Osgood was a Wesleyan Methodist minister and his sermons were dotted with illustrative tales, some of which were taller than others. Mom's dad was a huge sportsman who told fishing and hunting stories, but he always had the photographic proof of their veracity.

 

​Like many of the old west’s characters, my trails in life have been many. At various times I've been a pastor, dorm parent, stocker, sports official (soccer, football, softball, basketball, etc.), and accountant. ​I've lived in many places. Western New York is where I call home—a small town south of Buffalo. I met my bride of forty plus years there and our son was born there. But I've—we've—lived many other places. New Brunswick, Canada, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Missouri. Together we've traveled the U.S., backpacked the Allegheny National Forest and camped all over. We've met and broken bread with many wonderful people along the way. I believe that they have given me a depth of knowledge that comes through in the characters who populate my stories.
