Why I Started Writing:

Hard to say, other than I’ve always loved writing. Even as a kid, I wrote stories. There’s something about the experience of creation that is both satisfying and challenging. It’s an art. I write for the same reason Michelangelo painted and Beethoven composed.

Authors Who Have Influenced Me:

Flannery O’Connor, Cormac McCarthy, Raymond Carver, and F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Books I Have Written:

Firsts in Fiction, Write to Be Heard, The Bargain, The Book of Things to Come: A Hand of Adonai Novel, Who is Harrison Sawyer, and The Blood Sword: A Hand of Adonai Novel.

What I'm Working On Now:

I’m always at work writing the next great American novel.
