In addition to the online works you can view from here, I've also written for a variety of print publications, including Woman's Day, Bride Again, Petersen's Bowhunting, Writer's Digest and others. I worked for the Boy Scouts of America several years ago and wrote training programs, grants and promotional materials. Before that, I worked as a reporter and columnist for a small daily newspaper. About a thousand years ago, I graduated from the University of Montevallo in Montevallo, Alabama. Today, I concentrate mostly on my books, and greatly enjoy the close and immediate interaction with readers that the Internet makes possible.

When I take some time off from my work, I enjoy hiking and mountain climbing, gardening, painting, and sewing. My least favorite thing to do is cook, followed closely by shopping. I tell everyone I'm waiting for Opie to deliver my groceries in a cardboard box, and then I'd never have to leave my house again! I'm just a terrible homebody, but I guess that's okay considering the work I've chosen. I wish you as much satisfaction with the work you've chosen for your life.
