Thank you for stopping by. My books are written especially for reluctant reader boys 8 and up. But they are also loved by avid readers, girls, and even adults.
I believe you will find information that will inspire you. If you happen to be a reluctant reader, or are a parent of a reluctant reader, your life is about to change forever!

Lights, Camera, Action...
My life has been surrounded with the production of films, television commercials, and video programs. I shot part of a film in Germany, for the first time, at age 16. I've been involved in production ever since with a PBS Gospel Music special, hundreds of national television commercials, and countless other films and video programs... ...a New Direction ...then something happened that would turn my life upside down. As a result of 9/11, my professional video production business came to a stop. In the three years that followed, I began to research why I had become a reluctant reader. After an extensive search, I set out to write the kinds of books that I would have enjoyed as a child. All the while, my focus was on just one other reluctant boy reader. |

The Reluctant Reader...
Right from the beginning I was a reluctant reader. Even though my father is a famous author of over 70 books, I've never liked to read. You'll notice in this picture (at right), I'm only looking at the cover of one of my dad's books. Out of a family of 7 children, I'm the very last person you would ever expect to take up writing.
