I'm a single dad raising two children on my own. I made a huge decision to leave my job in February of 2010, during a terrible economy. I made my mind up that I would become obsessed with the pursuit of success with my writing career. I didn't want my children to witness me slaving away on jobs, missing out on time with them, with no tangible results to show for it. I never wanted to teach my children to live from check to check. It was very important for me to become their role model because I always felt that my children should never have to look outside of our home for one. I've done my best to teach them that their own dreams are attainable and that they don't have to abandon them. So far, it has paid off. In these few months I’ve made a name for myself and people KNOW who I am and how I do what I do which is a blessing. One of the things I’m most proud of is how my children see me. I write constantly and I already have the titles & plots lined up for my next 26 novels. This is what I do, what I'm passionate about and I’m just trying to share this with the rest of the world. I’m just trying to become legendary in the game. I believe that a GOOD writer pulls you into their story. A GREAT writer makes the world around you fall away as you read. The LEGENDARY writers tell stories that become a part of you and linger long after you’ve read the last line of the last chapter. It was once said that "The pen is mightier than the sword". I say to my fellow AUTHORS: Let's advance our craft until it's mightier than guns, grenades, bullets & nuclear bombs. If not, then put your pen down and fall back. Those of us who are serious about this will run you over as if we were riding in tanks.”
