View my page on Published Authors
Last 37 years I have resided in Columbus, Indiana I'm a 63 year old married American male with 2 children & 3 grandchildren, born in Oklahoma City June 21, 1944 and raised in Chickasha, Oklahoma. Wild as a peach elm boar when I was younger.

Worked in the oilfields of Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming. First, as a floor hand then as a derrick man. My youth was spent driving trucks hauling grain from Liberal, Kansas to Houston, Texas. Delivered a load of bailing twine from Houston, Texas to Ft. Smith, Arkansas, took a load of watermelons from Cotulla, Texas to Denver, Colorado for Safeway Grocery Inc. where they placed them on the railroad to deliver back to Cotulla! I delivered a load of mattresses from Chickasha, Oklahoma to Rolla, Missouri. Then I transported produce to New Mexico, Colorado and Missouri.



Once was a migrant worker; picking tomatoes, potatoes and prunes in Oregon. I've hoed, picked and chopped cotton in Oklahoma and Mississippi. Spent the summers of my youth pitching hay bales, working the harvest and driving wheat combines in Oklahoma. Shoed horses & mules in Colorado where I worked at Stupid Charley Guest Ranch in Mancos, Colorado and The Arapaho Hunt Club in Littleton, Colorado.



Was an apprentice embalmer and an ambulance driver too! Also an assistant grocery manager, sold insurance for Mutual of Omaha and Allstate Insurance Company. So, I sincerely believe that I've been there and done that!



While shoeing horses and mules on a dude ranch in Mancos, Colorado I met my wife. After 30 minutes asked her to marry me. I will be the first to admit I was a tad slow, but I did have to know her name first! I am a strong believer in setting my priorities. August 1st, 2008 we celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary!



My wife commented that I was not content. There are the three "C's": covetness, contentment and complacency. I do not COVET other people's things, I believe in working for what I possess. I am CONTENT with what I do have, but I hope that I will never become so COMPLACENT as not to want more.



March 15, 2004, I won the 1st Game to Fame contest aka howfamous. 1st online reality contest. The prize was an all-expense trip to Hollywood where I met with various writers of the "Law & Order" series on Television, independent movie producers and screenplay people. All to promote my two western novels!



Then on February 15th, invited back to help celebrate the next two winners; Cassi Rissa (Game 2) & Christine Phillips (Game 3) at the ultra chic House of Blues in Hollywood where I met the actors of the Survivor Australia, Katey Doyle and others. Really enjoyed myself!



Received an Honorable Discharge from USMC (Uncle Sam's Mean Children) on January 9, 1964.
My books:



CLEARWATER (76,694 words-276 pages) and MERCER'S MANOR (95,799 words-333 pages).
