In September 2016 I'll be releasing two books from two different series.

The first book is a novel entitled The Lazarus Journals: Wilderness which is book #1 in the In the Beginning Series. It would be categorized as Christian Fiction or Historical Fiction and follows the exploits of Lazarus, who is an intriguing composite of Robin Hood, Tarzan, the Lone Ranger and Captain America, with a whole lot of Forrest Gump thrown into the mix just for the fun of it.

The second book is a self-help book entitled When a Loved One Dies: A Journey Through the Octaves of Grief. This is the first volume in The Building Bridges to Tomorrow Inspirational Series and I have high hopes it will be the first of many books that will inspire and inform people about how to live their lives in a way that will lead to a better tomorrow.

I've been immensely blessed in life and I've also suffered tremendous loss and heartache. My ultimate goal in writing these books is to inspire others through the lessons I've learned in life.

Every time I write or stand before an assembly my goal is to move my audience to feel deeply, to contemplate freely, and to live and love abundantly. I hope as you read my books the blessings I've received will be passed on to you.

I'm convinced that we never feel better about ourselves and our place in the world than when we do something to make someone else's place a little better. If after reading my books you find yourself in a better place then I'll have accomplished my goal.
