Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I live a life of faith in Jesus Christ. I hope people will get to know me through my poetry. I have 4 books published through 3 different publishers. “ Songs Of Poetry God Speaks Through His Creation, Ripples Of Reflections” were published by Publish America. Didn’t turn out good as I hoped and I am trying to buy the rights back for those, so I can republish them again for a better turn out. Ripples of Reflections I rushed because my Grandfather was dying of cancer then and wanted Him to see one more book published from me. Then I took a chance and went with Tate Publishing to publish my third book “Rainbow’s Hidden Treasures” which was a lot of fun to do if you have the funds to do so. I am still trying to sell that one so please check it out. I just published my new book “ After God’s Own Heart” through Create space. I just felt led by the Lord that it was time again to put a book together. I write from the heart and the inspiration that is felt. I listen for the voice of the Lord inside of me to give me the wisdom for the poetry given. I never read a book of poetry before writing my first poem. All just happened out of the blue. I never studied on how to write poetry. I just see the words form in my mind and then they come out in Sonnet poetry. Now over 500 poems later I am still amazed everyday that I still find something to write about. I love helping people and seeing my poetry has made a difference in somebody else. I don’t make books for the money, but more as a ministry and giving back to God for the calling He has given me. I give Jesus all the Glory.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My new book is called After God’s Own Heart. I just see so many kids struggling with finding the true value in life, and the lack of Faith in the home from a Godly man that strives for that relationship in God that will not only bring out the love needed, but also to protect the home. This is why I chose the cover with a family on it. In hopes of bringing God’s own heart back to where it belongs in the center of our love.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No, I just listen to good postive music and just whatever comes to my heart that God wants me to write about.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I loved westerns as a kid, still do. Love Stephen Bly books, and Louis L’amour. Al Lacy and novels by Frank Peretti.

What are you working on now?
I have written a few poems since my new book came out. I just lost my dog Lazz, black lab part collie of 10 years to lime disease. So that took the steam out of my writing a little bit, was there by myside every where I went around home. But I did write a poem about the good byes to those pets we call family.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
well I tried a website for awhile, but being on SSD got too costly to run with nothing coming back in return. So now I stick with facebook and word of mouth. Luckly for me My Sister works at a Christian book store. So I get to sell a few through them at hearts & Minds in Dallastown. PA

Do you have any advice for new authors?
yes, just keep at it, hang in their and don’t do it for the money, but to reach out and touch other people through their word and stories.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t lose faith, and don’t stop writing.

What are you reading now?
Grandmal by Joshua Holmes who is a good friend of mine, we like supporting each other. Great book about what a person goes through with a life where a seizure could strike at any moment.

What’s next for you as a writer?
Whatever God leads me to do, short answer I know, but only He knows what the path leads in front of me.

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?
The Bible would be my first, LOL would give me 66 books to read in 1. And the truth is God’s word is all I will need until He rescuse me. 🙂
