I've been a writer most of my life, with my earliest verifiable work coming in third grade when I established a link between the Pilgrims and the invention of Thanksgiving (since repudiated).

The Dead Jed trilogy is my first trilogy, and first three books I've ever written. I started one back on college at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and quit after the first page (I used an electric typewriter back then, cutting-edge tech). I have no idea what it was about, but I am sure it was like every other story I wrote in which I tried to mimic Stephen King.

I've been a journalist for 35 years, the last 30 with The (now departed) Phoenix Gazette and The Arizona Republic. I love telling stories, whether they are mine or those of others.

Putting the word out

I'm assembling a grassroots marketing campaign to get Dead Jed's word out to local teachers and school librarians. Hoping to soon score some Jed-branded posters, pens, magnets and such, dropping them off at schools with an offer to come out and speak to students -- for free! By the way, if anyone knows how to get a book listed with the Accelerated Reader program, I'd sure love to know.
