I have always felt an inner creative urge but ignored it in favor of paying the bills. At this time in my life. I have more freedom to develop my artistic side.  After attending a creative writing class I was compelled to write a novel.  I thoroughly enjoyed the writing process and found that I had something to say.  Having a completed book in hand was thrilling and fulfilled many of my cherished goals. Now that I have published three teen novels, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.   Because of my background with computers and technology I have learned how to format my own Eboos for various platforms. For my latest book "Colt O'Brien Grows Up" I create the KINDLE and EBPUB files on my home PC. I love having control over my works     My character Colt O'Brien seems to have found an audience.  He is starring in his second book "Colt O'Brien Grows Up". In spite of his popularity somehow, he always seems to find himself in extremely distressing situations. I just hope he keeps coming out on top:)
