About the author

Born in the Cotton Fields of Arkansas, Grew up in Arkansas moved to California when I was sixteen living my adult life there until my retirement from the metals industry after thirty plus years in Management.
Started writing as a stress reliever working and raising children. Wrote some of my book in long hand/typewriter until 1987 when I bought my first computer. Writing on it because I enjoyed just writing.
First published in 2011 my series called the Lightning in the Tunnel. Since I had twenty-four years to write it, they all came out assembly line fashion through book seven of the series.
Writing my first time travel book called "T.T. Gristman" was followed by my first Science fiction called "A Stranger comes Crawling". Followed closely by my mystery book written twenty years ago that I just updated it to present times. Called "Brandi's Nightmare" and now I have just recently at the end of February 2013 published book one of my science fiction series called the "Chronicles of the Marauder" of Marauder Chronicles. Don't have any idea how long this series will be but right now planning on it being three books! Each will be a stand alone book but following the same guidelines in the story. The only book not written of the Lightning in the Tunnel series is "Lightning Rages" the final book that follows "A Need for Lightning". It is three quarters written but I still don't know how I want to end it.
For those that are curious, I have seven children and twenty-one grandchildren with three great grandchildren and I am happily married. My wife was the one pushing me to publish, I prefer just to write whether anyone reads my books or not! She loves the stories especially "Terror Reigns" and "Brandi's Nightmare" ,(my mystery book even she couldn't solve until the end, her being a mystery reader that was nice) Her favorite reading is science fiction more than mysteries that she she grew up reading. So my science fiction is for her even if no one else ever reads them!
