From the time our first child, Jennifer, was
born in 1970 I found myself creating
children's stories to tell her at bedtime or
when we were taking an after dinner walk.
When our son James was born five years
later, I continued with evening and bedtime
stories - particularly Christmas stories about
Santa Claus. My wife and I found a great deal
of joy pointing out the flashing red lights atop
the Santa Catalina Mountains and exciting
the children about the possibility that Santa
was flying up there and was looking down on
us. Of course, he was keeping a list of who
was naughty and nice, so there was a little
encouragement for the kids to be well
behaved.
At about the same time I was busy at the
Tucson Police Department writing policies
and procedures, deployment plans, budgets,
and working on a major research project on
Community Oriented Policing.
Story telling came to an end when James and
Jennifer outgrew them, but my technical
writing for the Tucson, and later the Lubbock
Police Departments, moved into high gear.

Lubbock PD and making a career adjustment to the Lubbock School District
Police, I found a treasure chest in the form of "spare time."
I had never lost my pleasure of story telling, so my newly found time was
quickly put to use in creative writing. My first book, Color of the Prism, was a
major success, and sold to become a major motion picture. My second novel,
The Third Dawn, is newly released and is being scheduled for book signing
events in bookstores and book fairs.
Two more novels are in the works, and hope to see the light of the printed page
soon. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this site along with COLOR OF THE
PRISM and THE THIRD DAWN.
