edit data

I'm a 30-year heavy haul trucker, Army veteran, and private
pilot out of Mount Pleasant, Texas.

My debut novel Frozen Freight: Iron Reach launched April 27,
2026, the first book in a four-part military thriller series.
Real gear. Real weather. Real stakes. Unreservedly
recommended by Midwest Book Review, May 2026. Book Two, The
Fifth Dot, follows in August 2026.

I've got 388 audiobooks in my account. I've driven millions
of miles listening to thriller after thriller. I got tired
of waiting for someone else to write the one about truckers.
So I wrote it.

I've been married to my wife Rebecca for 34 years, and she
edits every chapter.

Featured in Atmosphere Press, May 2026.
