Working for well-known energy companies in engineering, marketing, and finance from refineries to corporate offices prepared me to write my accessible, award-winning, and reader-praised global energy thrillers 13 Days: The Pythagoras Conspiracy, Strike Price, and The Second Law. Strike Price won a first place award as the best mystery/thriller from the Texas Association of Authors and The Second Law won a first place award as the best international thriller from Texas Association of Authors. In addition to my books, two of my short stories have been published in Amazon Shorts, a third in an anthology, and a fourth independently at KDP. I'm now working on my fourth Lynn Dayton thrilller. Altogether I've appeared at over 150 book marketing events.
I also write professionally about energy investing in a parallel career (Starks Energy Economics LLC) and run half-marathons occasionally--16 so far. I'm honored to have just been inducted into the Ponca City (Oklahoma) High School Hall of Fame, one of the first 25 out of 33,000+ graduates.
