Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a Christian author that grew up in small
rural Central Wisconsin town of only nine hundred people. I spent
twenty-five years helping those around me as an emergency medical
technician. I always felt God’s calling on my life, but never knew
how to act on it. I discovered my desire to write God’s word while
incarcerated. Today I enjoy living in Southern Louisiana with my
wife of twenty years and our four children. God, family, and spicy
foods are the pleasures of my life. This is my first book.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
From My Mess to His Message. Devotions That Carried Me Through.
I was incarcerated and needed my Saviour. God lead me to His word, and told me to share it with others.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I love to write, so I just let it flow, but thankfully spell check is my best friend… It at least my readers best friend!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
All of the James Patterson Alex Cross books got me excited about reading.
What are you working on now?
Right now I am trying to crowd fund 500 of my devotionals to donate to jails and rehab facilities. Here is the link to the GoFundMe page: https://www.gofundme.com/inmate-devotional-ministry
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Word of mouth has worked really well for me.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Investigate publishers closely. Ask what you get for your dollar. Then compare a few different options!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Trust God, and lean not on your own understanding!
What are you reading now?
I want to start The People Vs Alex Cross.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m working on my second book called one word prayers… Watch for it.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
My devotional, my Bible, and any random Alex Cross book!
