Born in the early 60s, I'm a Caucasian male and the author of eight novels—six in the Steven Paul Series and two in the Eddie Winston Series. I was raised in Austin, Texas but have lived for periods of time in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee. In my younger years, I traveled the world.
I currently write from my prison cell in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice where in addition to penning my novels, I continue to fight for my freedom. And, if God willing and the creek don't rise, freedom will become a reality in the near future.
I'm what some would coin a "good-old-boy." With a rebel heart, I lived hard and played hard. I've been rich and I've been poor. I've experienced limos to dive bars.

I'm an avid reader and animal rights advocate and hope to someday convert the family ranch or found an animal sanctuary.

English was, by far, my worst subject. And, in that respect, I'm still a work in progress. But, having read thousands of novels, I had a desire to write a novel. And, as the cliché goes, "the rest is history."
In addition to being an avid reader, my qualifications include a belief in myself and my novels. My inspirations include a trove of experiences and the colorful life that I've lived—that, and a vivid imagination.
Currently, I reside in the Wynne Unit, which is the least-conducive prison for an aspiring author. The prison is famous for a number of reasons and none of them good. For that reason, I've spent this last year revising all of my novels and putting the final touches on my latest, "Foster Cares."
