After a long corporate career, I retired to spend my time doing what I most enjoy: storytelling and hanging out with dogs. Writing Woof’s Chronicles has enabled me to do both.

As a devoted dog owner, I’ve often pondered the intriguing idea that dogs might harbor a secret humanity, prompting me to explore the concept of swapping roles with our four-legged friends. My inclination for crafting stories about protagonists navigating unfamiliar realms stems from personal experiences, including an eighteen-year stint in Australia, a land populated by warm-hearted individuals.

Throughout my corporate career, primarily in operations and technology roles, I discovered the power of storytelling as an effective means of conveying ideas in a captivating manner—even within the corporate landscape. Woof’s Chronicles delves into the realm of Interdimensional travel and limitless virtual storage of physical items, concepts I believe may one day come to fruition.

Presently, I am immersed in the continuation of improbable tales. I’m presently working on The End of Magic, a novel about a land run by the laws of Magic, except Magic has gone haywire. More volumes of Woof’s Chronicles have been written, as well as an Origins story. Curiosity about the inclusion of Gaelic terms in the fantasy dimension of Drea Madad in Woof’s Chronicles leads to a whimsical explanation: seven Irish setters have left their mark on my creative journey. I’ve owed a dozen dogs over the course of my life, and both the Irish and the non-Irish have a special place in my heart.
