Gary grew up in San Angelo, Texas where the first day of the rodeo was a school holiday. He is now retired and lives with his wife in the old farmhouse they restored and share with the cats, the cows and horses across the road, and the coyote choir that performs nightly. He is a member of the Writer’s League of Texas and San Gabriel Writer’s League and is an associate of AWordwithYouPress.com. His careers in health care and criminal justice gave him a rare insight into the minds of people who complicate their lives through critical thinking errors, and he uses what he learned about those people to bring life to the characters in his writing.
