About this author

I was born in Birmingham, Alabama, 68 years ago. Currently I live in Huntsville, Alabama, which is a little over 100 miles north of Birmingham. I didn't get to Huntsville via Interstate 65. Rather, I arrived here after living in Trussville and Childersburg, Alabama; Palatka and Jacksonville, Florida; Georgia, South Carolina, Indiana, Texas, Vietnam, Mobile (Alabama), Laurel (Mississippi), Memphis, and Mentone, Alabama.

I've been a construction worker, soldier, corporate manager, car dealer, minister, professional speaker, small business owner, and writer.

I've been married four times, bankrupt twice, homeless once, and a millionaire once.

I live, very happily, with my wife, Christina, whose CV is as long (or longer) than mine. We love to read...more


Chapter Two


Ben Jenkins crossed the state line and the New York Thruway soon became the Connecticut Freeway. He was the the least publicly known of the three journeying to Green Mountain, though for a few minutes on Christmas Eve, ten years earlier, the eyes of the world had been on him. Those few minutes of fame were the reason he’d given up his comfortable life and become a recluse, living in...

by Stephen King
read in December, 2012
This is the best Stephen King since The Stand. Once again, I'm back on the King bandwagon. I wasn't sure I'd ever get involved in one of his 800 page wonders again - I'm glad I swayed and loaded 11/22/63 on my Kindle.

The Racketeer by John Grisham
The Racketeer
by John Grisham (Goodreads Author)
read in December, 2012
I marked that I'd finished The Racketeer but that implies that I've read it all and in truth, I've finally given up on it - the first Grisham novel I've quit on - this is really bad writing and someone should have told him so.

Rumi
“Moonlight floods the whole sky from horizon to horizon;
How much it can fill your room depends on its windows.”
Rumi, Essential Rumi

Henry Beston
We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.
Henry Beston

Bert Carson If I was slow to thank you it wasn't because I don't care - there are a lot of buttons to push and I feel a lot like Alice in Wonderland trying to find my way. Anyway, thank you very much.

Mireille Chester Thanks for the friend request. :) Hope you're having a fantastic summer.
