Background
Information

I've always loved to read and got my inspiration to write from a story written by one of my brothers. I figured if he could write, so could I. My favorite authors were Mark Twain, William Faulkner, Mickey Spillane and Richard S. Prather. Later came Louis L'Amour, Elmore Leonard and Ray Bradbury.
