I'm at that point in my life where I've been there, done it all, and got nothing more to prove. For me, the joy of writing is not in making money, or getting recognition, but in just being able to share a good story.
I'm a husband of a loving wife for close to 50 years, have two grown children, and two grandsons. I love kayaking, reading, writing, computer games, home repairs, and dogs. I retired from university teaching and then came back part-time as an adjunct because I love my students.
I've written 28 books, 200 articles and stories, and still consider myself a student of the craft with much to learn. I write mostly Christian suspense, but dabble in other areas occasionally. More than anything, I have learned that the joy is in the journey.
