My story
I have worked in healthcare most of my adult life. While I dabbled in writing for years, it wasn’t until 2016 I finally self-published my first book, The Crystal Crux – Betrayal (1st Edition) Since then I have completed all five books in The Crystal Crux series and published several smaller stories as well. I’m not sure what my next writing project will be yet but I’m excited to get started on it.
Our approach
My goal is to be a storyteller.
I don’t have a background in language arts. My writing won’t be technically perfect by any means. But I have stories to tell, and hopefully when I am done, these will be stories readers enjoys.
At the present, I’m not exploring any publishing deals.
I am quite satisfied
to self-publish my books.
In saying that, I am not a wealthy man, and I don’t have a budget for advertising.
I depend a lot on book fairs
and word of mouth.
I am putting my stories out in the ether praying there is an audience who finds them worthy and entertaining. If some book deal comes along in the future, that would be cool, but that is not my goal.
I’ve never put money or my ego before
my wife and family,
and at my advanced years in life,
I don’t intend to start now.
I hope if you take the time to read my stories and find some joy in them, you will also take the time to share them with others
and spread that joy.
"Not everyone is meant to be a hero,
and no hero is a hero to everyone.
Every hero has enemies."
- Excerpt from Shimmer
He was getting lost, sailing into her gaze. And then he realized she was smiling and approving of him. In unison they said, “Beautiful”.
