I am a veteran of both the United States Air Force and the Arkansas Army National Guard and a former IT executive. After many years and a few life-changing experiences, I saw the light and returned to my first love--literature. I recently completed a second bachelors degree, this time in English (creative writing) and will begin a masters program (english) at the University of Arkansas in the fall of 2020.
My wife and I live in a small house (1,000 square feet) that was built in 1921. It is in an equally small town nestled deep in a valley of the Boston Mountains of Northwest Arkansas. It is a quirky town and a quirky house. On taking possession of the property, Mollie the Collie, one of our three dogs (which occupy roughly 300 square feet) fell in a hidden well. It was mostly filled in so she didn't suffer any lasting damage. The irony, however, has lingered.
We are the proud parents of four moderately well-adjusted children and one spectacular granddaughter. We are fortunate that after traveling the country and the world, we have all chosen to settle in Arkansas. This is truly a beautiful state, made more so by the closeness of the family.
I have stories published by Fairlight Books, Proud to be: Writing by America's Warriors, Military Experience and the Arts and Coffin Bell Journal. I am very excited by my publishing partnership with the Wild Rose Press. I am currently working on more short stories for a military anthology and a novel about truck drivers.view less
