He lives with his wife (high school sweetheart) and four sheep in New Zealand in an earth brick house that looks like a Romanesque Abbey (lots of arched windows). He built most of the furniture for the house himself and so far only one piece has collapsed.Apart from writing books he dabbles in electronics, gardening, kayaking, hiking and growing his hair.
