I write books. I build stuff. Living on the edge of the prairie on the farm my great-grandparents homesteaded in 1880. Deeply concerned about the world we're leaving to my grandchildren and trying to do something about it.
Together
I hate writing about politics.

The moon gives you light,
And the bugles and the drums give you music;
And my heart, O my soldiers, my veterans,
My heart gives you love.
