I'm glad you've stopped by my website for a visit.
The majority
of my work is spent alone, bent over
a keyboard, so I look
forward to talking books
with readers. Please feel free to send
me an email.
I try to respond to every single one.
Hopefully this will give you a glimpse into my life
and my books.

One of my greatest desires as a writer is to make a difference on
this planet, and you'll find that one of my favorite themes is how
God can redeem the seemingly unredeemable. I have a lot of
personal experience with that. I grew up in what Flannery
O'Connor
called the "Christ-haunted South," and though my folks
took me to
church
every time the doors were open, I did not find
meaning or
a connection there. And if I'd been spared certain
crises during
my college career, I might still be walking in darkness.
I believe
it's a powerful thing to have turned to God after a period of following other gods, because I truly know what it feels like to be dead, and now to be alive.
Thanks for stopping by, and happy reading!
We've got enough in this world to bring us down and my desire is to tell stories laced with the light I discovered; that transcendant, supernatural, seemingly irrational hope that yanked me up out of the dark pit of despair.
“These novels change us because their authors are willing to draw upon their deepest selves without flinching. They hold nothing back.”
