I write stories that people want to hear. I'm not into depressing people or showing the ugly side of life; my books aim to put a smile on your face or brighten your day. I'm a family man and a teacher, and I've come to the conclusion that there's enough junk in the world, so why add to it? Stories should take you places that you never want to leave. Stories should excite you, thrill you, surprise you, and if they're really good, change you. As a movie buff, I consider my stories to be very cinematic and grand. After all, if you're going to devote several hours to my writing, I'd better make it worth your while! I've always been the creative type. When I was younger, I forced my mom's daycare kids to participate in short films I'd create. Most of them were ridiculous and highly inappropriate (let's pray none of them ever surface to embarrass me in the future). I've also always loved traveling, though my idea of traveling usually centered around visiting a Disney theme park (Epcot has several countries represented, so that counts, right)? My parents encouraged me to be creative, and my wife pushed me to write my first book. Until then, I had written short stories and screenplays. Once I finished my first book, I realized that about 100 stories popped up in its place. Such is the life of a writer. I'll never finish writing! I love laughing and I love making people laugh. Each book I write has some of that humor in it. We need to smile more. We need to be kind. We need to do better at watching out for each other. Books have the power to make positive changes happen.
