My first published work was for an outdoor magazine - I wrote about hunting and fishing adventures in the middle 1970's. Then the corporate world consumed my time and I began to read while traveling all the US and to some foreign countries. It took me 13 years to put my first book together, a non-fiction work called 'Don't Wake Me Until Its Time to Go.' I've been writing my Carson Reno mystery series since 2009 and it now contains 13 adventures.

More of the Carson Reno band of characters fighting crime in the early 1960's from the Memphis Peabody Hotel.

I have published books both as an indie author and using the traditional method. Sometimes it's just easier to do it yourself!

They offer and sell a lot of my books. It has been a good relationship

My motto is: 'Don't write to get rich, but to enrich others'.

Without fans I would just be writing for myself. And, while that might be a good hobby, I do want to share with others.

Another Carson Reno novel and another novel using a character I created last year - Jack Sloan. Jack's current book is The Concrete Jungle and published by Martin Brown Publishers

My wife and family

Outdoors - always have and always will.

Oh yeah, still have it. It's called 'A different point of view'. A sad story told from an animial's perspective.

Short outline, create characters, story flow and then let my characters do the rest!
