The freedom to write so freely in a free land is such a wonderful thing. It is something to be cherished lest it be whittled away to finally be axed to death until we die for what believe. It would not be the first time, or the last. That is why I feel that there is nothing greater than writing & creating something from nothing. It's the closest thing to the divine! The freedom to say what we believe is not some men or women bequeathed unto us. The ability to create worlds and personalities, to describe something so powerfully it can make the reader laugh with joy, shiver in fear or cry in sorrow and empathy and to then breathe into them the breath of literary life is a gift from God; a process that starts in human imagination and comes to life on the printed page. It is the thing that separates us from the rest of creation! It is exactly what God did when He stepped into nothing and created something that lives and breathes!The genre of stories I have written and the views I have expressed in my books are an intense effort to say something about my current society and to perhaps warn Pluribus Unum of the things that threatened the life we now have. I consider my books to be hard-hitting stories that may frighten the reader, as a result of the realism and the plausibility of the evil unleashed on an apathetic and ill-mannered world when faithlessness falls upon the just and the unjust.
Since I have traveled widely around the world, I have been privileged to possess the ability of giving a fair accounting of the life we share on this part of the small globe we call home. I also know how easy it would be to see liberty all blown away into the sands of time to only be disinterred by a yet to form people far different than our own. So, the stories that flood my mind are to help us stop, perceive, reflect…perhaps alter our actions and cause us to look at where we are, where we have been and determine, perhaps with more clarity, where we are going.
I am an ever growing, constantly learning, very dedicated writer. I try very hard to not only write about today as I also seek to point the way in which today’s lifestyles, whatever they may be, shall either take us towards a reasonable position of faith and unity or shall shove us headlong into a pitiful humanity where man is reduced to mere trouble, scarcely meriting bread and water, such as in the case of Terri Schiavo. Remember her? She could be you…me…any of us, in a world that makes human life so cheap that it renders death itself as the sole solution, with dignity.
My novel, Nimrod Rising, reveals a world on the brink of, not simple decay, but ready to totter into massive rage unleashed unto the vanquishing of a nation, having lost all of its protective layer, when a whole nation's faith is done. We have not yet driven our society into the ground. Yet, I wanted to show those, who care to look and comprehend, how ignorance and apathy confide.
I would like to attach a very recent review of Nimrod Rising. In her review, Yvonne Perry does a great service to the depth and reality of this novel. I have personally spent 12 years writing this novel. Nimrod Rising is actually three complete novels representing a seamless trilogy, in one volume about a world not just in peril, but in free-fall, in grave danger of obliteration. The following book review for which I have placed the link below, gives the reviewer and readers impression of the book. It is a certainty those who have ridden the storms of our stories along with us most often who can give the best appraisal of this Treatise on America, Nimrod Rising. I think you'd find it is as real as it gets. Thank you for enduring my enthusiasm for a book that I think will take one's attention and keep it to the very end.

Some of us have become well known while we still write. Many of us will not be discovered until well after we have graduated to a higher calling. Yet, all of us want to leave behind a written account, a treatise of sorts, of what we valued, how we thought and what we believed. That is our legacy so that many others after us may gain a perspective on our hopes and dreams and fears, in the day in which we live. That is why I write and that is what drives me and that is my passion! I bet you can relate. Thank you for your time, which has really enriched my hope to get Nimrod Rising into the hands of dedicated readers like yourself. It’s as real as it gets!

"One thing I asked myself throughout the book is: Is the story fiction or is it true? One can only hope it is fiction, but the evidence paralleled by world events says there’s a good chance that what we are seeing may really be the end of the world. But, who knows?"
