I want to inspire young readers to read great books. I also want to inspire young writers to not give up on their dreams to be successful writers. I waited entirely too long before I began to write. I want young people to dream big and learn how to bring those dreams into reality.
I am retired from my work as Vice President of Marketing and Sales at an industrial automation company. I live in Apex, North Carolina, with Linda, my wife of thirty-four years. I have five children and thirteen grandchildren. My first screenplay, Alliance of the Quad: The New Alliance was presented to fifteen production companies at a screenwriters convention in Los Angeles. The consensus was unanimous: the story line was unique, the story approach was intriguing, but to make a $150 million fantasy adventure movie would require an audience standing at the theater door before the movie could be funded. I was told to go home and write the book(s).
Volume 1 – Alliance of the Quad: The New Alliance was published in 2013. Volume 2 –Alliance of the Quad: Curse of the Cubericon was published in October 2014. Volume 3 –Alliance of the Quad: Secret of Four Peaks Island has been written and will be published in November of 2016. I am currently writing volume 4 – Alliance of the Quad: Demons of Diamond Ridge. This five-book series will be completed by June 2018. I intend to continue writing after this series is completed, spending my time writing and traveling.
