Writing

Recipiant of the 2006 Rowlett Adult
Short Story Writing Contest

The SECOND great passion of my life is my WRITING. From high school to the Army to the hundreds of articles and stories in the nations martial arts magazines to the screen plays and THREE published Novels, I have proven that I love to write. I also have taught numerous Creative Writing classes and love teaching others how to write novels and screenplays.

Aside from the martial arts and writing some of the things I enjoy most have been or currently are good Bible studies, chess, golf, playing football, baseball and Tiger Woods Golf on my PS2, singing, watching and collecting movies (I have over 1,600 movies in my library) checkers, pinochle, backgammon and Texas Hold 'Em Poker.

My published novels have been BLACK HAWK, about the Sauk War Chief of the same name, who is my great, great, great, great grandfather; LIMPY, a western story I wrote from a song my dad use to sing to us and BAYARD - THE GOOD KNIGHT, about a 15th Century French Knight who is possibly the most renowned soldier in all of Europe. I also have several stories and screen plays in various stages of development. My next big desire is to acquire a literary agent or manager. I love to write but do not have the time, money nor expertise to push my books the way they should be marketed.

Thanks for stopping by my web site and I trust you will come back often as several things will continue to change. The writing tips and lessons and martial arts tips and techniques and the Bible studies in the Spirituality section will change often.
