Welcome to Blissful Adventures!
Heartfelt greetings to my website that showcases adventures in novels and hiking adventures – all in one place!

I once said in my younger days I never wanted to live a boring life in a brick house behind a picket fence and do nothing. This is the only life we get to live, so why not live it to the fullest, using the gifts we’ve been given? This is what Blissful Adventures is all about—an author and a hiker living life to the fullest and sharing it with others so they too may have a life of adventure and purpose.
With this, I share aspects of my adventures, both in the written word and on the trails –
Blissful Writing Adventures
I’ve been a published writer since the late nineties, penning stories that I want to read. What does that mean? I personally don’t like the boring and the mundane. I like stories with plot and character twists, page-turners in their own right, with a message that speaks to one’s heart and soul. I want the story to reside within the reader long after the book is done. In my career, I’ve published over thirty works in both fiction and nonfiction. Soon you will see my past works breathe new life as I release revised novels with new titles and covers in the coming months. From the depths of Mammoth Cave to the lofty summits of the White Mountains in both historical and contemporary, it’s sure to be an adventure.

You will not want to miss it.

Blissful Hiking Adventures
I am an avid hiker, logging over 10,000 miles on many trails, from below sea level to summits over 13,000 feet, from Colorado to the entire eastern seaboard of the Florida Everglades to Maine, including the famous Appalachian Trail twice. I enjoy sharing my adventures in-person with eager audiences that range in age from elementary-age children to seniors as well as on the Blissful Hiking Adventures podcast, webinars, and by Zoom. I love to tell the tale of a trail and have also published the Hiking Adventures series on the Appalachian Trail and the Florida Trail, bringing adventure to hikers, dreamers, and those who may never get to walk the trail but who want to read about it.
If you want to witness people rescue the innocent like in Escape from Amsterdam, take a walk in nature, read tales of a trail in my Hiking Adventure series or hear me as a guest speaker, or read about the miracles that this blog will showcase in the coming weeks, you have come to the right place!
