I spent my childhood moving from house to house in a small Arkansas town with my father and sister. There were no family pictures on the walls, only a few small framed school photos on flat surfaces. Every possible space was covered with bookshelves. 

I have always loved writing. I was the rare student who enjoyed the writing assignments in school, as long as they were fiction, of course. In college I wanted to take Freshman Composition over and over, but they wouldn’t let me.

I released my first novel, The South Coast, in 2013, the first in a series of detective stories. It wasn’t until 2020 that I wrote and released Runt, my first book for middle grade readers. 

In all, I have eight books published. Ace Adler and the Pendulum of Doom will be my ninth, and I have already started on the second book in that series.
