I'm one of those schizophrenic artists who couldn't make up his mind which art to focus on. I went to college on a fine arts scholarship, yet spent a lot of my time playing the guitar, writing songs and performing with a band. I won the KFC songwriting contest while in college, and no, I wasn't writing jingles about chicken. I also won The Country Showdown, a battle of the bands.To support my artistic pursuits, I took time off from college and worked in the oil fields of Wyoming - not exactly intellectual work, but I did meet some interesting characters that I could draw upon in my writing. I also spent a few years with a dance group, touring Canada and Europe.After receiving my English degree, I went to work as a technical writer for Thiokol, the manufacturer of space shuttle rocket boosters. Yes, they're the ones responsible for the 1986 Challenger disaster, but that was before I worked for them.I later taught English in Honolulu, Hawaii, and Berkeley, California. During this time, I began focusing seriously on my writing. If you haven't read either of my novels, shame on you, but you still have a chance to redeem yourself. Please, take some time to learn more about the books and read a few chapters.
