People sometimes ask how long I’ve been writing. I wrote during high school but never with any intention of publishing. In college, my creative outlet was music. Later I got into the beaded jewelry craze, but that phased out after my son was born (beads and toddlers don’t mix well). In the meantime, I would write when the muse struck, and eventually I had a half-dozen novels (or, more specifically, parts and pieces of).
My writing is heavily influenced by my experience as an Army Reserve paramedic and exposure to helicopter medevac (I obtained my helicopter pilot license in 2001). I like to explore how a character deals with what life throws at them, and how they change and grow because of the experiences.
FUN TWIST: Characters in my novels are intertwined with other novels. For instance, the main female character in Last Chance Rescue (Jessie) was briefly married when she was younger. Her husband? None other than Major Aaron Bricewick, “star” of True Surrender!

Short Stories

Published Essays
I enjoy writing essays now and then. They’re so much shorter than a novel! And there is a market for them, which means publication! Read More.
