I have twenty two other published articles and works, including” The Vision of the Cat” and” Tommy Hop the Bunny.” I have another book in the works from the Billy Buckins series.
I had a typical family, my parents loved to travel and I spent most of my school years in Myrtle Beach South Carolina and Titusville Florida. This childhood spent along the ocean inspired most of my writings of life on the sea. I am from a family of writers, my sister Linda writes under the name Linda D. Harrington and is the Author/Illustrator of “Holly’s Backyard Adventures” my mother was also a Writer/Author and wrote “The Man Called Simon” in 1978.
I began my actual career in Law Enforcement in January of 1984 when I went to work as a State Law Enforcement Officer. I was forced to retire due to an injury in the line of duty and went back to my love of writing full time. I live in East Tennessee with my wife of eighteen years, Kristin Arrington and our two sons.
