He's often called "Tom Sawyer," but he is not the Mark Twain character, though he did marry Becky Thatcher and his best friend is Huck Finn. He lives in a nice home with his family near the Mohawk River in Upstate New York and writes from behind a locked basement door when Becky has had enough of him.


Saving Babe Ruth was his first novel and these are some of the awards it has received:

Gold Winner, "Best First Book: Fiction," 2015 Independent Book Publishers Association's Benjamin Franklin Book Awards.

Silver Winner, "Best Popular Fiction," 2015 Independent Book Publishers Association's Benjamin Franklin Book Awards.

Readers Views, "Best Regional Fiction 2014/2015: Northeast."

Finalist, "Best New Fiction," 2014 USA Best Book Awards.
