Picture this: I’m juggling a 60-hour workweek, wrangling three acres of Texas land, and trying to be the best husband, father, and-my favorite title-Grandpa. And then, on a complete whim, I dove headfirst into the world of storytelling.

It all began with a simple Ancestry DNA test and a family tree that brought my Scottish roots roaring to life. Suddenly, I was obsessed with all things Scottish and Irish, especially the legendary Battle of Culloden. One day, as I was about to step into the shower, a wild thought struck me: What if the Jacobites had advanced weapons at Culloden?

I’m on it!

My first two books took me about a year each to complete and publish… while working way too much at my day job. My third book … “Recompense Book 3 - King? Or Emperor?” Has taken a bit longer.

Jay Anderson liked BOOK LOVER nordberg's review of Recompense (Book 2): A King's Reckoning: "Few books manage to be both insightful and pulse-pounding, pounding this one does.
