Biography
I'm a writer with a broad background of many professions and interests with bachelor's degrees in both business and nursing. As a retiree, I draw on my memories and life experiences to create real world fiction and nonfiction stories. I've done everything from working on the back of a garbage truck at fifteen years old to working as a Registered Nurse for one brutal year (they don't get enough money or credit for what they do). As a thirteen year Marine, former plant manager for a sheet metal company, former mortician's helper, pump jockey, handyman, and about ten other vocations, just ask me about something and I can probably tell you a little about it. Like many writers, the craft is not only a joy, but serves as a catharsis on some days and outright bloodletting on others.
Experience
Author of "Old Flames and Brimstone", an unusual comedy about senior citizens being drawn back to their past and each other in a small Texas town. I have the Cole Dillman trilogy in process about a seventeen year old boy trying to find his way in life. He comes from a family of dysfunction and desperately wants to break the cycle of despair that seems to be generational and inevitable. The first book, "The Angle of the Stone", introduces him and his plight and lays out a course of events that he couldn't have imagined over the span of a week and a half. The second book, "The Fletcher's Pride", shows Cole making huge strides as he begins to see a pathway for success. The third novel, "True North", shows where a moment of weakness and one bad decision can have a cataclysmic effect on one's future.
