I am an author of western fiction, as well as non fiction about the history of Southern Oregon, specializing in the local mining industry. Some of my works include the western novel, "The Troubled Land" and "Gold Dust: Stories of Oregon's Mining Years", both available at Amazon.com. I have also contributed articles on Oregon's mining history to Apple Rogue Times, Oregon Gold (dot) net and other outlets.
