Richard Matheson, Rod Serling, Edgar Allen Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, Erich Segal, Nicholas Sparks, Stephan King and new author C.S. Johnson are my greatest influences as a writer.  My first novel "Down A Road I've Never Been" was published in 2003 (a coming of age novel).  I'm currently shopping my second novel "No Other Life But This" around as we speak (a paranormal romance mixing true events with time travel), work as a freelance news correspondent and am working on my next novel "October Nights" (a horror novel planned so far with three additional books to follow).

Have built a small following in both Tennessee and Indiana.
