Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I started writing when I was in the seventh grade. Always having an active imagination, I wrote a short story for class that was later printed in the local paper. Setting aside my love of writing and drawing as a teen, I returned to it as a young man and started writing stories and creating comic book characters. Using my children, loved ones and friends as inspiration, I went on to create over a hundred characters and stories that I hoped to publish. Always considering myself more of a creator than a writer, I spent several years looking for a collaborator. After a couple of failed attempts, I finally teamed up with my friend Charles Little and formed New Legend Books & Comics. Our first venture is the book “Dead or Alive: The Reaper’s Redemption”. I plan to continue creating new stories and characters and hope to help others see their dreams of becoming published authors come true.
