Writing is a team effort. I couldn’t have published any of the books I already have without my wife Stacy. Aside from the fact that she is my cheerleader and coach, she also does much of the illustrating and interior design. That is why my author bio must include her!
I was destined to be an adventurer.
While much of my childhood was spent exploring the woods outside my home in Michigan, I can remember those rainy days with a favorite fiction novel or two. There, in the confines of my room, I’d explore worlds within the pages, fighting creatures with mammoth fangs and hot tempers, winning battles that were unwinnable, and crawling through mysterious caverns in search of the next ancient artifact.
My students inspired me to publish.
Teaching high school gave me the opportunity to reignite my passion for adventure as I saw many students with the same wide-eyed spark for fiction books. They inspired me to dive in and pick up my manuscript once again. Writing isn’t easy inherently, and even tougher when you know someone is going to read it and criticize it.
But after the first few chapters of writing The Watcher Key, something began to really open up inside of me. I wrote because I really wanted to, and loved every minute of it. Strange new worlds, eccentric characters, immortal powers-they were all within my grasp, just beneath the keys of my keyboard. I love writing, and I am honored and humbled whenever someone reads my books. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for jumping into my adventures with me! Above all, I give God the glory for any talents that I claim. I am also thankful for my family, who have loved and supported me through a very long publishing process. It is a journey, and just like my books, it can be an adventure filled with twists and turns that has often left me questioning, Should I have been an engineer instead? Regardless, whenever I pick up my pen, or my computer to write, I feel something wonderful-something that tells me I am right where I should be.
The Descendants of Light!
As the author of the Descendants of Light series, I have sought to bring others into the imaginative world of immortal beings, dragons, and epic conflicts of Light and Darkness. The first novel, The Watcher Key, is based upon the Descendants of Light, an ancient people who claim ancestry from the Watchers-spiritual beings from the heavens. In the first book, Samuel Forrester discovers his connection to the Descendants, and is thrust into a plot by the dark forces to deceive the followers of Light. Then, in the second book, The Watcher Tower, the discovery of an ancient tower gives the Descendants a glimpse into the dark force’s ultimate plan, to destroy Lior. With with the final book, The Watcher Revealed, the conflict between the Descendants and the Dark Forces draw to a conclusion, ending in a legendary battle that will rock the very foundation of Lior-and of Earth. I pray that each of you who read my books with find the same enjoyment that I have in writing them.
What's coming next?
I can’t divulge too much, but there’s a new series brewing…
Monsters, here on Earth? Or perhaps demons? In a not too distant dystopian future, six teens discover a foul evil lurking in the mountains with a devastating purpose–and it could mean the end of civilization forever.
