I’m an IT guy who writes children’s books for fun. My latest picture book, THE BATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE, came out September 7th via MacLaren-Cochrane Publishing. I have two self published pictures books, THE TAIL OF A BOY NAMED HARVEY and MEOWY CHRISTMAS. My son inspires most of my stories.

THE BATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE is my latest book. It was inspired by my son.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Josh Funk, Tara Lazar, Maurice Sendak, Lisa M. Bakos, Susanna Leonard Hill to name just a few.
What are you working on now?
I’m trying to figure that out. I have twenty stories that are all requesting my attention. I need to put their names on a wall and throw a dart to decide.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m still trying to figure that out.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Revise a lot and have fun.
