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 had several short stories in the Top 10 in their respective genres on Amazon.

Day Of The Assassin- # 2 (Western)
Misconduct- # 1 (Sports)
The Mason Files- # 7 (Mystery)

I've released several books including The Assassin, with a portion of proceeds benefitting St. Jude Childrens Hospital. Escape will benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Bounty Hunter will be released in early 2009 and will benefit The Humane Society of the United States. 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.
