I've been writing since high school, and started writing articles for different sports publications. Now I mostly stick with writing novels. Though I write in Westerns, Mystery/Thrillers, and Fantasy, my first love is Westerns. I'm trying to do my part to keep the Western alive. My father got me into Westerns when I was a toddler and grew up watching John Wayne, Eastwood, Scott, Murphy, etc. I'm trying to inspire a new generation of Western fans and put the genre back in the forefront.

I've just released The Assassin, and a portion of proceeds will benefit St. Jude Childrens Hospital. I'd be very appreciative of any support. I also welcome any help in spreading the word. I've posted excerpts of a couple of future books under the short story section, so please check them out. Visit my website to check out my blogs, excerpts, and upcoming books.
