I was born on May 25, 1943, smack in the middle of WWII. My first eight years were spent with my family in a bungalow on Williamsburg Road in Sandston, VA, near the Richmond Army Air Base, a training base for P-47 pilots. My earliest memories are of life in a small town that was really a functioning part of the military, as many families in the community rented rooms to service men and their wives stationed at the air base. Post WWII was a simple and lovely time in Sandston; a Norman Rockwell small town of tree lined streets with white frame houses. A new car or someone getting a television created a wave of excitement, but it was also a time when great change was just beginning to occur. It is truly fascinating to look back as witnesses to the extraordinary changes that have taken place from that simple time to the present, and it is part of who I am today. From the very beginning of my education reading and comprehending what I had read seemed to come easily and literature was always a passion. Unfortunately reading and comprehension proved to be one of my few early academic accomplishments. The simple truth is that if something didn't interest me I had little time for it, and that included much of what exasperated teachers were trying to pound into my head. After graduating from high school I had a brief stint in the Army before enrolling in the old Richmond Professional Institute (now Virginia Commonwealth University) majoring in journalism. Unfortunately my college career would be cut short at two years, as my financial situation made full time work a necessity. For the next 40 years I worked in construction related sales and marketing. In 1979 I started my own manufactures rep agency that I ran until 1999 when I closed it to become the military sales manager for a Chicago based company. In 2006 I decided to take early retirement and fulfill my passion to write. My first novel, The Great River Disclosure was published by Brandylane Publishers in July, 2009. My second novel, Satan's Angel was sold to a small publishing house and was released in ebook format. Unfortunately legal issues between author and publisher make the future of this book uncertain at this time. Both are thrillers with much of the action taking place around and on the Chesapeake Bay that I know so well. In addition, my extensive travel with military sales has given me an in-depth knowledge of many areas around our great and beautiful country. Hopefully this knowledge will allow me to develop accurate plot scenes from many areas expanding the depth of my plot and characters. In the fall of 2013 a proposal for my first book of non-fiction was purchased through my agent by St. Martin's Press. The manuscript is now in the editing process and the book is due to be released March 17, 2015, in hardcover, eBook format, and as an audio book. I have been married to the same lovely lady for 42 years. Alice and I, along with our two boys, moved from Richmond, Virginia, to the Northern Neck of Virginia in 1989. Our oldest son, daughter in-law, and six granddaughters and one grandson live in New Braunfels, Texas just north of San Antonio. Our youngest son, daughter in-law and grandson live in Reedville, VA.
