Retired academic librarian with strong background in both history and photography. Book: The Nikon Camera in America, 1946-1953 has been in print since 2008. The Tenax book is a continuation of my research into the connection between technology and culture. Taken Beyond the Ohio is my first venture into historical fiction for younger readers. Both Beetle: The Auto biography of a Virtual Girl and Forbidden Games are full-length novels that explore the modern world as youth experiences it today through either speculative or YA fiction.
