As for myself, I was raised in Orange County, California. It was there that I was introduced to drugs and became a 30 year addict to meth. Throughout that period of my life, I was a career criminal, selling guns, explosives, committing financial crimes, car thefts, and assaults. All in the furtherance of my addiction. Now, as a reformed career criminal, I have turned my life around, plotting and scheming crimes in a world of fictional but exciting crime and thriller novels. Like Mike Wells, my writing style is cinematic, fast paced and action packed. Unlike most writers, I have no problem seeing a popular character of mine bumped off. Currently, I am living in Arkansas with my fiance, my daughter and near my five step-children and five grand-children. My other published works include: The Rourk Family Saga; "How Did I Get Here?" (Book I) "Where Is She?" (Book II) "Why Did You Leave Me?" This series follows Daniel Rourk as he takes over a lucrative Southern California Indian casino before getting into a financial bind that sends him into the hell that is the California prison system. See how the prisons really work, how addiction takes its toll, how redemption can be found and retribution can be meted out in the books that follow!
