edit data

I’m a chaos-driven writer from Kansas City.

I grew up in a family with five boys, which taught me a great deal about patience and persistence. My parents were incredibly supportive of creativity, and thanks to their influence, my brothers and I pursued various forms of art.

I am married to a wonderful and supportive wife, and I have three daughters who will someday rule the world.

Though I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English, I gained more knowledge from David Farland/Wolverton and Priscilla Van Der Weele-Smith.

Fair warning, this book kinda feels like two books. There’s a fairly abrupt jump when one section ends and the next begins. With that said, Lost to Alice is a coming-of-age story. Aria is uprooted after her parents’ death and sent to live with her co ...more

C.R. Guardian liked Ruth Mizell's review of Guild of Four: "I’m not going to lie, this isn’t my normal genre so it took me a bit to get into it. After I got into several chapters I really enjoyed the storytelling and how it kept building the characters. Full disclosure is that this is written by one of my son" Read more of this review »

C.R. Guardian liked Travis`'s review of Guild of Four: "A man has been chosen. He will be tested by some of the world’s top assassins, if he survives, he joins them.
