About Me
- Southwestern Wine Guy
- Corrales, New Mexico, United States
- Since I reside in the Southwest this seemed like a good moniker. I've been a professional writer for over 35 years, first in high tech, later with my first published novel, The Phoenix Society, which is set in the Sonoma wine country. I'm currently working on a novel about the Lincoln County wars of the late 1870's in Lincoln, NM. My first wine book, Wines of Enchantment, is available on Amazon.com, or many local NM wineries. I plan more wine books within the southwest region. I also write screenplays and use screenwriting techniques in my novels. I'm also a movie nut (big surprise), and a bicyclist, having cycled much of North America and Europe. As the Wine Maestro I set up wine dinners and wine tasting, give talks on wine, and wine classes. I currently do wine classes for Exploritas (Elderhostel) and wine presentations for hire. I'm also the Albuquerque Wine Examiner (Examiner.com) writing about wine, of course.
