My nonwriting career has been filled with the joy of teaching and coaching, but I have wanted to be a writer since I was a little boy.
Dealing with people of different socioeconomic backgrounds in the classroom, the court, the track and on the field have allowed me to develop an understanding of personalities and interspection under a variety of postive and negative conditions. These conditions are evident within my writing and have been hugely beneficial.
I do not want to be limited to a particular genre. I tend to write about topics or concepts that I find engaging. Ideas take over my thoughts and I have to get them out.
I lean more to horror and paranormal.
My current projects are part of a series, hopefully finished soon, involving werewolves, vampires, zombies and some surprises.
I am way too adicted to the television shows The Walking Dead and Being Human.

This was a kindle freebie and I really liked it. The story was pretty sick and twisted but it kept me entertained.
Samuel is summoned to the reading of his grandfather's will. He will be an extremely rich man if he can fulfill the requirements set forth by his grandfather Ben. Ben spent much of his life covering for his son Oliver (father to Samuel) and his horrifying need to kill. Ben's indulgent love for his son allowed Oliver to committ heinous crime after crime. Despite his help in covering for his son and arranging victims, he still died feeling much guilt. In order to repair some of the damage he allowed his son to committ, he requires that his grandson return some of Oliver's prized kills that he has kept cryogenically frozen on his lavish estate. If Samuel will return the murdered women, he will inherit unimaginable amounts of money.

This book had a very interesting premise but was poorly written.
