I Love to Write
Images, metaphors, and stories speak of life – and my books are filled with them.
I also love to help people grow so I always include a lot of practical information in my books. Personally, I needed some serious survival tools when my first wife, Pam, died of ovarian cancer at age 47 after a five-year battle. A lot of what I teach, I learned “in the trenches”. My books are gut-wrenchingly real, but also filled with hope and love and the tools in my books work.
Because my subject matter is a tough, Erica (my second wife) and I, began writing light-hearted children’s books, largely inspired by our kids and grandkids. You’ll find them included in here as well.
