About the author

I was born in Arizona a long time ago and still live in the Phoenix area with my wife and three children. My family also includes three big dogs and several cats. I received my undergraduate and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degrees from Colorado State University in the 1980's -- before the internet.
I have been a writer for many years. My writing career began more than twenty years ago with cowboy poetry, which I recited at gatherings thoughout the Southwestern United States. I am the author of two novels. They are both thrillers, but they are very different from one another. I tend to write the kinds of stories I like to read. My diverse list of literary influences includes classics by J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Dickens, and William Shakespeare, humor by Baxter Black, political thrillers by Tom Clancy, and yes, even erotica by E.L. James.
During the day, I am a busy veterinarian in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Writing is my hobby, so if it takes some time for me to complete a project, please forgive me. My plan is to write a novel per year. The third is already in the works....

Reviews

[Ann Brown]

This was one of the best books I've ever read. Couldn't put it down.Read it twice and probably will again. It has everything in it you would want. Have bought many copies to give to friends. Can't wait for his next book.
