Between college and graduate school there was a two year stint as a teacher of choral music in the public school at Grove, Oklahoma. After graduate school, I worked almost one-half of my career as a full-time church musician and the other half as a music store owner in South Carolina, dealing mostly with churches and schools. I enjoy spending time with my family—my wife, three daughters and their families including five grandchildren. Hobbies include traveling, photography, and writing. My first novel, Walnut Grove, was published in 2007. It is historical fiction set in Oklahoma between 1895 and 1947 with a flash back to the Trail of Tears. The Church that Love Built is an auto biography and is yet unpublished. Miss Sarah, published in 2012 is fiction. The characters became abundantly real, and I heard their voices as they told the story. I simply wrote it down. I do not claim to be a writer, but simply a teller of stories. Many events in my life helped shape the story of Miss Sarah.view less
