Friends and family tell me that I write well. I now venture into the cold, cruel world to see if a perfect stranger will say the same thing. Who am I? I raise my flock of four daughters along with my wife somewhere in Central Oklahoma. Having lived in Ohio most of my life, I cope as best as I can here in the sticky red mud. I earn my living supervising a smallish 9-1-1 operation I bake bread when the writer's block becomes too great.
