Like many readers before me, I first truly fell in love with the written word when I was nine and dove headfirst into an utterly engrossing novel that transported me into an epic struggle between good and evil. I love gripping characters and absorbing stories so much that I figured I should take a crack at creating my own saga so that others might fall in love with literature as well.
My first book was published in 2005, A Voice Is Calling, and was based off of a Bible study I wrote for my church. The experience of that first publication taught me a lot about what it takes to actually construct a manuscript and about the rigors and inner workings of the publishing industry. If a study of spiritual disciplines is your cup of tea, you might enjoy it. My mom would recommend it to you, but she's a little biased.
I received my Master's degree in Creative Writing from the University of Central Oklahoma and my Bachelor's in English from Oklahoma State University.
I currently write for the DailyThunder.com, the #1 fan source for all things Oklahoma City Thunder and an ESPN TrueHoop affiliate that averages over a quarter of a million visits per month.
I have a beautiful and loving wife and a wonderful daughter who inspires me on a daily basis.
Also, Hershey's chocolate bars are my kryptonite.
