about me

I've been writing short stories, essays, poetry, music and whatever else you can think of since I first was able to hold a pencil.
This is my first novel and I find that, while in some ways it's difficult the freedom to s-t-r-e-t-c-h into detailed descriptions and full character development is a blast. Hope you enjoy what you read and want to read more!
I also want to warn you that I don't automatically return reads. It depends on time constraints mostly. But whatever you do, please do NOT assume I will read yours if you read mine.
Please understand that wizards, werewolves, vampires, magic, magick, fantasy, sci-fi and romances bore me silly and probably will not get read by me.
I take very seriously the Bible Scripture, Proverbs 4:23 "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it [are] the issues of life". I don't read anything or watch anything that a six-year-old couldn't watch or read...well, maybe an 8-year-old.
If you're an agent or publisher and would like to talk with me, you can reach me at: wordworker@journalist.com
Slave to Grace is now available as a Kindle book through Amazon and will soon be available in paperback.

James Patterson's Alex Cross books
Mary Higgins Clark
"Seasons Under Heaven" by LaHaye and Blackstone
"Come Before Winter" by Chuck Swindoll
and (how eclectic!) most of Dean Koontz although his serials (Frankenstein and Odd Thomas) wear thin after the first two.

"...left a bitter stain on his mind ..." NICE! Great mechanics and the language has that tang of the Florida swampland just right. Nothing to add I'm truly impressed. I'll see you again next week when I will read and comment on at least two more chapters. view book

I came to this book expecting a book-length treatment of a specific crime and instead I find a group of chapters, each with it's own murder or scholarly treatise on the previously recounted crime. I enjoy "short-story"-type true crime, but it needs to be better clarified that that is what THIS is. ... view book

I have to admit ... I'm lost. What happened to the river drownings? Why are we suddenly thrust into the middle of a completely different crime? I'm going to look at chapter four but if it's a confusing as chapter three, I'm not going any further with this. view book

Wow! Very thorough picture of a drowning! I can't say I enjoyed this chapter but it was VERY well written and impressive in the amount of research. I would suggest that whenever you use the phrase "drown victim" you change drown to drownING ... that's the traditional usage. view book

Para starting, "More importantly, I believe that if the book..." I think "alternatIVE solutions" would be the better choice. Have you considered pushing this book to talk-show hosts? I'm thinking specifically of Glenn Beck who is NOT a Republican, but rather a "back to the constitution" Libertaria... view book
