| Introduction | I am a native of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, where I grew up and lived three out of the four seasons of the year, having taught both at the high school and the college levels. Since 2004, my summers have been spent in the Kingdom of Summer, in a small village outside of Caerleon in the year 594, where I weave my stories in the shade of an ancient black oak and smile at the knights and ladies as they make their way to and from court. I am the author of seven novels, four of which are from the "Celtic Tales" series. I would like to thank everyone, here and gone, who helped me both actively and passively in the creation of my work.
