About the Author

I was born in Birmingham, Alabama and lived only a block away from Roebuck Golf Course. When I was 12 I was a double bogie golfer and hopefully headed for a golf career. At 13 our family moved to the country near Montevallo, Alabama and life began anew. My brother, sister and I fell in love with the rural life and sports like hunting, fishing, camping out and horseback riding became our growing up fun and pleasures. We all developed a deep love for the country life that’s always been with us. I was educated at Montevallo High School and attended the University of Alabama and followed construction occupations for several years. My desires pushed my will for success and I opened a construction business and became a successful home builder. My love for youth sports bloomed and I became an organizer of teams and leagues. My hands on coaching was very successful. I can truthfully say that I was never more pleased than I was in seeing the youth in our community achieve their highest goals. My writing is a special love as I’ve had a romance with the pen for many years going back to my English Teacher Vinnie Lee Walker, at Montavallo High School. She lit the fire and I burned the midnight oil. We all need to say thanks to teachers like her. I love the craft and in writing I’ll always try to tell a story and try to give the glimpses of what life is really about. I now live in Birmingham, Alabama and enjoy living life with my three children and the special woman in my life, Joan. I have six grandchildren and one great granddaughter and seven great grandsons.
