Hey, everybody. If you're looking for Grisham or Rowling, they're not here. All you get is me, a regular guy trying to make it as an author.

I'm a former farm kid who came to this writing stuff after doing a bunch of other things. It took me five years to write my first book. I'm learning as I go, which means I've messed up some along the way. Want an example? The experts say you should pick one genre and stick to it. I messed that up. My books run from mystery to history, and from civil rights to sports. Amazon listed my first book as Christian fiction, but later I wrote a spicy little holiday story that will never be popular in the pews. The ideas are mine, the writing is mine, even the covers are mine. I'm proud to share them with you.

My books aren't always comfortable. They're pretty gritty sometimes . People get hurt, even killed. Unkind things are said and situations sometimes reach the breaking point - just like real life. But also like real life, we have hope. I want that to shine through.

Speaking of hope  I hope you'll read my books and like what you read. Then I hope you'll tell your friends, enemies, neighbors, in-laws, outlaws, and even strangers on the street. There's no big marketing budget backing me. It's just you, me, and my stories.

Thanks for reading.
