The main thing you need to know about me is that I am an avid reader myself and that I write what I love to read: action-packed, fast-paced, novels into which I try to inject a touch of humor and a bit of useful information about preparing for emergencies. Another thing you should know is that I honor my readers by trying my best to deliver an entertaining and complete tale in each novel. Even when I’m writing a trilogy or a series I will not leave you hanging because I never want my readers to feel cheated. Far from it. In an ideal world I want for you to look forward to my next novel with the same sense of eager anticipation I have at the release of each of my  favorite author's books. The major influences on my writing style comes from the authors I love to read: Louis L’Amour, Stephen King, Frank Herbert, J.R.R Tolkien and Elmore Leonard to name but a few.
