About Me

I grew up in Maryland, just outside Baltimore, but moved to New Mexico with my family after my junior year in high school.
While always wanting to write, I was busy with work and spent many years with a lack of ideas for a book, so writing remained just a distant dream.
After being laid off in 2007, I found myself with the time, and suddenly an idea which literally sprang into my head.
I grew up reading westerns...especially Louis L'Amour books.  With my experience living in the west that I used to read about and now live in, I knew that this was a genre in which I could write.
I love living in New Mexico with my wife, Kimberly, and our new baby girl Rachel.   We enjoy exploring the four corners region by jeep and by hiking.  The American Southwest has been a great inspiration with its diversity in people, culture, and landscape.

You can also find me on facebook, True West, and twitter.

THE FEATHER GANG is an intriguing story about a gang of outlaws, criminal by choice but driven by circumstance.  They are pursued by U.S. Deputy Marshal Jake Silver, who is intelligent and cunning through years of experience.  The gang will soon determine if their wits will endure to pull off one last big bank heist, and the Marshal will be put to the test to see if he can stay ahead of the gang's ingenious plan.
