I’ve been lucky to be with Seventh Star Press (SSP) since 2019. Stephen and Holly are beautiful people, as are all the members of the SSP family. My first novel in the SSP franchise, Tybee Island H-Bomb, won the 2020 Imadjinn Award for Best Thriller. Since then, we’ve come out with four books in the series. The fourth novel Death On Drakes Creek came out March 22, 2025. The fifth book in the series is in the works.
I’ve started a new series, Sicarii, which originates from the Latin word “sica,” meaning dagger. Sicarii is a secret society of assassins. The second book in the series is also in the works.
My wife, Stephanie, and I have been married for over thirty years. We live in Owensboro, Kentucky. Owensboro is a small town on the Ohio River in the western part of the state. To date, we have five children and eleven grandchildren, with our first great-grandchild due later in the year.
