As the second to the youngest member in a family of ten, my mornings were spent jockeying for bathroom time, while the afternoons were all about getting my chores done so I could watch Dark Shadows, Star Trek, and the Ed Sullivan Show.Somewhere in and around the fourth grade my oldest brother, knowing my love of fantasy and dream of one day becoming an author, handed me a copy of The Hobbit and told me to read it. If I was really serious about becoming a writer, reading J. R. R. Tolkien was, as far as he was concerned, the place for me to begin.I have been reading and writing every since."The Unforced Rhythms of His Grace" is my first completed faith-based, non-fiction work. And even though the first draft was written in less than three months, it wasn't until I began doing the re-writes that the book really began to come together as the thought provoking work I had always intended it to be. Based upon a mixture of life, theology, and an ever growing intimate fellowship with the Lord, I felt it was time to put on paper what I believe it means to live a life saved by grace.I am currently in the process of my next faith based work, as well as a full length urban fantasy novel, and word prompted fantasy novella (a short novel comprised of a series of prompts taken from the writers group I am a part of). These will be updated to the list of available work as they are finished. In the meantime you can visit my website:view less
