Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an independent author who has many interests that include writing (obviously), reading, exercise, traveling, coaching youth and high school sports, basketball, track and field, the UFC, Professional Wrestling, and history.
I was born and raised in Maplewood, Minnesota. I received my high school degree in 1983 from North St. Paul High School. In 1987, I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Macalester College in St. Paul, MN.
I have seven great children and have nine wonderful grandchildren (with more to come). I am happily married to a loving and supporting woman.
I think I always wanted to be a writer since I was a little kid. In addition to my History degree, I also have a minor in Journalism. The first story I wrote was when I was around eight-years-old. I wrote a Green Lantern Comic. It was all illustration and no dialogue. I then wrote a Fat Albert Comic with pictures and dialogue. I probably have written 10-15 stories. I now have two novels on the market. My first book is titled Babyfaces & Heels (A Pro Wrestling Story). My newest book is called We Now Sell Sea Monkeys (A Call Center Story.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
We Now Sell Sea Monkeys was inspired by my 30-plus years working in the Customer Service/Call Center Industry. That industry is full of innovative, eclectic, and colorful individuals. It is a bizarre world with its own subculture.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I continuously research history, facts, and reference information to add realism and authenticity to my stories.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I have always been a fan of John Grisham and his talent of creating well-rounded characters and captivating stories.
What are you working on now?
I am starting research on a few projects. I will not reveal too much, but I have an outline for a novel that includes my cousin and a popular 1970s Pop Music Group.
