I began writing around the age of twelve or thirteen. I published my first book at the age of forty five thanks to the support of my family. I believe in Louis L'Amour's philosophy of writing. "You don't need profanity to tell a good story."
The best thing about this whole process was a surprise. My daughter, Kaity, is my editor and advisor. During this endeavor we have discovered many talents that she was previously unaware she possessed. 
My wife, Michelle, and I live on a small ranch in North Texas with a few cattle, a horse, eight cats, two dogs, and one pea-hen (Margaret).
I am happiest at home with my wife, books, animals, and games.
