I was seven years old when I wrote my first story. Inspired by the television show The Little Rascals, I imagined myself as part of their world, weaving stories about kids playing around the neighborhood. I even gave myself the role of Alfalfa, adding my own flair to their adventures. Sadly, when we moved, all those early stories were lost.<\/p>

It wasn\u2019t until my senior year of college that I wrote again. My story, One Person Individually Wrapped, explored how a person might reach Heaven. At the time, I wasn\u2019t yet a Christian, and the story reflected my curiosity and uncertainty. It touched on recovering from a spinal cord injury, reincarnation, and the idea of living multiple lives on Earth before reaching Heaven. Looking back, it was a mix of imagination and what I now call \u201cknucklehead\u201d ideas, but it was a start.<\/p>

Over the years, my life took many turns. I taught school for 34 years, attended Chiropractic college, and later served as a preacher for 17 years. After my divorce in 2006, I returned to fiction writing with renewed passion. My first novel during this period, Mental Cruelty, marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life as a writer. Since then, I\u2019ve written numerous novels, tackling themes like divorce, the challenges in public education, chiropractic, relationships, my childhood experiences, and most importantly, Christianity.<\/p>

A pivotal moment in my journey came on January 13, 1985, when I became a born-again Christian. This decision reshaped my life, grounding me in faith and values that guide everything I do. Most of my novels\u2014apart from The Receivership and the Springfield, New Jersey series\u2014are deeply influenced by Christian themes. Through my writing, I hope to touch lives and inspire others, much like Jesus has inspired me.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
