I am motivated by a desire to write exciting, action and suspense-filled novels that will captivate a reader's attention and provoke imagination. Competing with video games is a serious business, so the reader needs to visualize and vicariously live your adventure. As a Christian and English teacher, I strive to practice what I teach. I wouldn't write anything that I'd be ashamed to have my family, friends, and students read, much less give a wrong impression to my reading audience.   On a personal note, I am married and have two sons. Dan designs my book covers & graphical promotional items, provides motivation, and gives editorial input to keep all references to technology and photography current.  Mark provides computer programming and technical support and also offers vital suggestions and critiques.  You'll see them all reflected as major characters in my suspense books, starting with Consuming Fire: An Alexa Silven Novel.

BA degree in Psychology from the University of Florida and a Masters of Education in Language Arts from the University of Central Florida, along with National Board Teacher certification. A remarkable review on my first book, "Consuming Fire" by Paper Dragon Ink is an achievement I cherish. lysa Corona's insights still leave a smile on my face.
