What is the aim or goal of your writing: I've been writing since I was a child of about 8 years old in the hayloft of a big, red barn. Writing is the biggest part of me, my passion and my life. Any success I have achieved has been the product of over 20 years filled with innumerable hours of writing and relentless researching, and taking huge risks working on projects that ultimately I felt by instinct would be well received and benefit people. In addition, I have developed professional relationships with those who have been an enormous help to my profession as an author, agricultural photographer and preservationist.
