About Me

I'm a native Texan, from the Houston area. My first novel, Childish Things, came out in late May of 2006. My second novel, The Tamale List, is due out in early April. Then, a month later, Childish Things will be re-released and distributed.I joined the Navy in 1990, and after traveling halfway around the world, living in such exotic locales as Japan, Guam and Fort Worth, TX; getting married; having two kids; and "accelerating my life," I decided to leave the Navy and become a civilian. After five years in Japan, we just moved to Kansas in summer 2007.
