The angels let one slip through the crack when I married Sue Marie Shealy, my high school sweetheart, in 1977. I knew she must have been under some sort of spell when she said she married me for my hands. Regardless, I still proclaim to be the first boy to have kissed her at a spin-the-bottle party in the eighth grade. Promising her a life filled with adventure and travel, we went cold turkey on sweet tea and boiled peanuts and headed out to see the world. During the last thirty-five years, we have changed addresses approximately every four years (coast-to-coast, and overseas), bolted-on car tags from seven different states, and been blessed with two wonderful children--now both adults.

I graduated from Auburn University in 1976 with a Bachelor of Aviation Management and from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in 1984 with a Master of Aeronautical Science. After college, I served six years as an Air Force pilot, five years as a corporate pilot, and twenty-one years as a commercial airline pilot for American Airlines based in Washington D.C., Nashville, Chicago, Dallas, and Los Angeles. My flight experience equates to having spent over two years in the air in everything from Piper Cubs to jumbo jets and seaplanes to helicopters.

The fictional stories I write are derived from the real world—where we all live—stories about the world as it is, strange and real, yet full of grace. As individuals we are unique works of art, but within our human experiences (successes, failures, and heartaches) we are connected by a common thread. It is my goal that each story I write entertain, evoke emotion, and leave my readers with a message of hope for a better tomorrow.
