After spending nigh on 35 years in the construction and property game, I decided to follow my dream of becoming an author.

Growing up, I devoured books like the Hardy Boys, and now I'm creating my own characters and stories. I write in the thriller genre, and I've got two series going: "The Sgt. Marvin Styles Assignments" and "The Jonathan Patrick Steele Adventures." I like to mix things up with a bit of tension, mystery, and humor. You'll find my stories heavy on character dialogue - it's just my style.

My first book, "The President's Weapon," hit the shelves back on January 25, 2015, and let me tell you, it made quite a splash. They even called it a "Best Seller," if you can believe it! And folks seem to like it too - it's got a solid 4.4-star rating on Amazon, with a whopping 64% of reviews giving it 5 stars.

Now, "Dead Water," the sequel to "The President's Weapon," has been turning heads too. It snagged both the Editor's Choice and Rising Star Awards, and readers just can't get enough. People are saying it's a "kick-ass read" and a "page-turner," and I reckon they're right.

When I'm not writing, you can find me volunteering at charity events, especially ones where I can show off my love of motorcycles. And let me tell ya, I'm a big animal lover and I sure do love a good laugh.

So, if you're lookin' for a thrilling read that'll keep you on the edge of your seat, give my books a shot. You won't regret it, and I'll bet you'll have as much fun reading them as I did writing 'em.
