I live on Mercer Island, Washington, near Seattle, with my wife, Jill, my filmmaker son, Ben, who is now a weekend visitor, and three dogs, Sunshine, Piccolo and Chloe.

At the age of seventy-seven, I now pursue my two passions, writing and jazz guitar.

I was born and raised outside of Birmingham, Alabama.

As a boy I had the good fortune of growing up with the space and freedom to be outside, have adventures, explore and get into trouble. A boy’s purpose in life is to play, and the tantalizing possibility of getting into trouble added spice to that purpose.

I was also blessed with a rich heritage of story telling from the members of my wonderful, extended Southern family. I share some of my family stories in the Blackwater Novels.

My boyhood in the South and my college years at the University of Alabama also gave me first hand experience of the good people of both races coming together with love to help each other and to confront racial hatred.

I am grateful to my Southern past for giving me the rich experiences to draw on in writing the Blackwater Novels. I consider these books to be parables on how to live. This may explain why some things work out better in the novels that they do in real life.
