When I was young, I grew up on a steady diet of stories. Whether it was my uncle telling us ghost stories around a campfire or the short story collections I devoured in my early teens, or the Stephen King books I later found myself engrossed in, stories have always been a huge part of my life.

I still remember sitting at the laundromat when I was a freshman in college and writing down in my journal: I’ve decided that I want to be a storyteller.

That was over three decades ago, and even then, I knew that I was made to tell and write stories, and that I would never find true fulfillment unless that was an integral part of my life. In the years since, I’ve been blessed to be able to live out that dream.

But a storyteller needs an audience, and so, thank you for supporting my writing over the years. I never imagined that I would be able to pursue writing full-time and that my books and stories would reach people in all corners of the world.

I love hearing from readers and do my best to respond to all of the letters I receive. Feel free to follow me on Facebook and Twitter.

Every author and every publisher knows that the number one way to sell books is through personal recommendations. So, if you’ve enjoyed my books, please spread the word.

Thanks for taking this journey with me and for being a part of my story.
