Hello and welcome to my webpage. I write across a broad spectrum from fiction to non-fiction, travel to adventure, thriller to erotica, and always enjoy playful humor.
My quest is always to invoke emotions and paint mental pictures that will entertain the reader. That is the jewel of good writing.

Please do consider buying a book. It puts food on the table and my fingers on the keyoard. We all have to live, love, shoe the child and feed the dog. Warm regards, Maurice.
