I love my work as a writer. When I pray – and, I do so often. Just about every night – I pray my thanks for allowing me the ability to write. Hopefully, one day it’ll be all I do. If I could ever hang up my hat as a Realtor, I would pray thanks twice as hard. And, why shouldn’t that happen? Wasn’t Tom Clancy just an insurance salesman until that opportune day when Ronald Reagan carried his book: The Hunt for Red October around the White House in a photo session to make the president seem more personable? Lucky day for Mr. Clancy. Mine will happen too.

Until that glorious day, I work two jobs. I’m an author in the wee early morning hours (well before the sun comes up) and I sell real estate during the daylight banker’s hours. But, the times they are a changing. In the next few years, and the over the next few books, I hope to change that.

I am a one man writing, publishing, marketing and sales team. I pick up my own phone calls and answer my own emails. I write my own press releases and post my own social media postings. So, please don’t be surprised if it sometimes takes me a few days to respond. I work as hard and as often as I can. However, as I said, I am a one man team. I read them all; emails, postcards, letters, et al., and save the ones I think deserve a response and then act accordingly at the fastest pace I can. It’s not like I don’t have multiple irons in the fire. Between selling real estate, writing new books, being a husband to one beautiful lady and father to eight curious kids – who generally don’t understand that when a door is shut Dad wants a few minutes of privacy. They think it’s OK to just push it open and show me their owwies or spelling tests or tell me about the rudeness of their siblings (things I’m not really that upset to hear about anyways). I find my days fly by at tornado speed.

My constant readers and growing fans are a big concern. I want you, the one reading this website right now, to know that I consider you an important part of my life too. You are a big part, a big reason, of why I do the things I do. I enjoy the writing and I enjoy the feedback I get from my readers. After all, without you, I’d have to stick with my day job. Something I’d sincerely prefer not to have to do.
