My wife, Neta, and I are authors of over 120 books, including the Trailblazer Books for young readers and Hero Tales for families. But in recent years we have been doing adult fiction based in Chicago and known as Windy City Stories. They include the Yada Yada Prayer Group series, the House of Hope series, the Harry Bentley series, the Sold-out Sisters series, and the Windy City Neighbors series.

Most recently, I've released a romantic suspense novel, "Flying Blind."

We live in the Chicago area. Our son is the VP of Design for the Milwaukee Museum, and his wife is the pastor of Living Water Community Church in Rogers Park. Our daughter is the Access/Career Specialist for the Disability Resource & Educational Services at the University of Illinois, Champaign/Urbana, and her spouse is the physical education teacher in a local Champaign school.

On Sunday mornings you will usually find us in church. On Tuesday evenings at our respective men's and women's Bible studies. And on Wednesday evenings, we serve in the local food pantry. Most mornings we hit the local senior fitness center. Except when the weather's good, then you might find me working in my vegetable garden. I have been known to brag about it!
