About the author

I am a retired juvenile correctional officer. While our employer said we were not allowed to read at night when the work was done and the young men were locked down and asleep, they could not tell us we couldnt write since it was part of our job description, so I started writing. It didnt take long, and I found I love to write. I live in North Texas in the country. I have my beautiful son Andrew, who lives close by. My daughter Brandi, who lives in Vanceburg, Kentucky, with her husband, Jamie. I have my grandson, Randy Presley, and my two granddaughters, Brittany Winham and Heather Winham.
