I am a retired paramedic. I started out as a volunteer fire fighter way back in 1975 but worked as a professional paramedic from 1980 until 2000. In addition to being an aspiring author I now work in the IT field. I have a grown Son, who is married and lives near Dallas. I have been married to my wife Tracey for 28 years. We have lived in the Spring Texas area for over 30 years.

I have always been an avid reader and have wanted to write books since I was a kid. Growing up, going to school, working, getting married, and having family always seemed to get in the way of starting a book. During my tenure as a paramedic I was involved in many calls. While a lot of them were routine a lot of them were not. As time went on people would ask me que I am a retired paramedic.

I have always been an avid reader and have wanted to write books since I was a kid. Growing up, going to school, working, getting married, and having family always seemed to get in the way of starting a book. During my tenure as a paramedic I was involved in many calls. While a lot of them were routine a lot of them were not. As time went on people would ask me questions about my experiences. I would pick some call that stood out for some reason or another to fit the situation and tell what is called a war story.

After telling a war story people would often tell me, "You should write a book about this stuff."

Remembering my childhood dream of being a writer I started keeping notes about my experiences. By the time I retired from Emergency Medical Services I had compiled a lot of notes but never actually started my book.

Several years ago I finally sat down at the computer started writing. I found out writing an interesting story is a lot harder than telling one. I finally hit upon a style and was off and running.

“Life, Death, Or Somewhere In Between – True Paramedic Stories” is a series of short stories, all of them true. My book will take you through some of the more interesting calls told in first person. Some of the stories have tragic endings, while others are funny or heartwarming. Some are about life, a few are about death, while others are “somewhere in between” as we all find ourselves to be at times. These stories are written with the reader in mind hoping of bringing you right into the middle of the “action” of each story.

I am writing a second book at this time and hope to have it for sale soon.

I hope you enjoy it.

The Christmas gift.

It’s the day after Christmas, a beautiful clear day, not a cloud in the sky. Bob, the proud owner of a new chain saw that Santa brought, decides to try it out. Bob lives in the country on about 2 acres of land, which means he has plenty of oak trees to keep trimmed. He fires up the saw and spots the limb he wants to cut. He raises the saw high above his head but can’t quite reach the limb.
