edit data

I was born in Denver, Colorado, and currently live near Saint Louis, Missouri. A salesman by day, my true passion is spending time with my family—including my wife, seven children, eleven grandchildren and our pets.

I have been greatly influenced by a few authors that have helped me shape my style and interests as an author. They include Dr. Suess, Shel Silverstein, Ogden Nash, James Thurber, and Walt Kelly.

I also have to thank my father for my love of words and word play. He was a junior high school teacher of reading, remedial reading and English. I grew up playing word games with my family on long car trips, etc. To this day I still engage in pun wars with my older brother, best friend and anyone else crazy enough to participate!

She has made such incredible progress from when we first got her- from being afraid of everything to being highly socialized and happy. Her change was so striking that I wanted to write about it to encourage people to adopt shelter pets. She also has some funny behaviors and silly nicknames which I thought would be fun to share for children.(less)

I think a lot of writer's block comes from a tendency to over-think, so clearing the mind is very helpful.(less)

New Edition of Pooker!

I have revised and published a 2nd edition of "There's a Pooker on My Pillow", now available exclusively on Amazon in eBook and paperback, as well as through KDP Select.

It's much the same as the first edition, with minor edits for greater clarity and some additional author notes and invitations at the end. So far it has three 5-Star reviews on Amazon!
