BIOGRAPHY I am a retired manager, trainer and technical writer. I worked for twenty plus years in the restaurant industry and then twenty years in telecom and advertising before retiring nine years ago. I now write fulltime and have since November of 2022 when my wife told me to either start writing or stop talking about it. That seemed like pretty good advice I now have thirteen books and short stories in print and I am working on a sequel to my Crossing Big Coal River series and releasing book seven of my Blake Franklin Investigations series in September 2023.
