Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Yes, I do, and I still have it. It is a short story about a small boy who lives in a small country town. He sees a newborn colt at the neighbor's house and asks his father for 50 cents to buy it. The neighbor exchange glances with his father and pretends to agree, but on one condition, the boy has to go and bridle the colt. When the boy goes to get the colt, the mare neighs at him and the boy runs away.
When did you first start writing?
My favorite subject in school was writing essays, and I have written short stories and notes all my life. I began to write in earnest in 2010 and published my first book in 2012.

Series

The Rule of Ranging by
In this historical drama, a motley group of underdogs living on a prayer finds themselves trapped in a remote frontier fort surrounded by troubled colonials with dark secrets, only to discover that the only way out is to team up with the notorious Rogers Rangers in a deadly chase for elusive freedom during the French & Indian War. The Rule of Ranging is cinematic in its scope and comprehensive in its scholarship, and alternately funny, bawdy, heartbreaking, instructive, and thrilling. It provides the reader a sweeping history of a world war that covers the themes of love, freedom, greed, innocence, man’s savagery, loyalty, friendship, adventure, and so much more.

Even those waging the fiercest battles just hew to hard fast rules that separate the soldier from the savage. The epic action-adventure drama follows the fearless Finn on a journey paved with bloodthirsty aggressors, mysterious women, and the rough terrain of a fledgling America. Both grave and uplifting, it’s an absorbing flight of fancy and derring-do.
