Besides being a published author I am an award winning designer, celebrated illustrator and professional communication coach. I have written twelve novels and teach writing workshops, speak at high schools and local colleges as well as lecture for the local Learning Annex on alternative publishing. The son of a retired American Literature professor I have been immersed in the written word since birth. They say there is only one thing more worthless than a writer, and that’s an artist. I'm both.In 1996 I had a life altering experience and I had to make some serious changes. With those changes I finally allowed the writer in me out of the cage and he wanted my attention. I fought the urge for about three months and then finally gave in. Alone in my office I began pounding the keys with lunatic abandon and wrote total and unadulterated trash. It felt damn good. I told my wife I was going to write a novel’She said, “As long as you don’t become one of those unshaven, beret wearing idiots who sits in Starbucks and taps away on a laptop. And as long as it doesn’t interfere with your ability to earn a living.”So I drew for money and wrote for passion. My first novel was worthless but great practice. Then came “Ancient Anger” and I received some feedback that added fuel to my desire to never stop writing. John Austin of the Book Club Radio Show said it was the best adventure novel he had read in twenty-five years, and the head of the Anthropology Department at the University of Maine said it was best book on the Mayan culture he had ever read, even though it was fiction. “The Wilds” became my first mystery and I haven’t looked back.My latest novel, “Rejection” has been called the ultimate unpublished writer revenge novel and New York Times best selling author Christopher Reich called it “Smart, snappy, hard-edged and fast-paced, it had me guessing to the end. A truly enjoyable ride!”So welcome to my world. Sit down, strap in, hold on and scream your head off. It’s a roller coaster of the ride and a thrill of a story. Please keep your hands inside of the ride at all times and when we come back into the station, hold on – because we are going around again.vizualizați mai puține
