My Desire.I have profited much from studying God's Word over the years. I have pondered a variety of topics, often revisiting and building my studies over time and gradually recording them in written form. It is my pleasure to share God's truth with others.
I have learned through experience that (unless God intervenes), I do not have the platform, the resources, the energy, or the time to make myself into a well-known author. That's okay. I still like to write, and I still desire to share God's truth with friends and others who might profit from it. |
My Platform.
Kindle Direct Publishing (but you don't have to have a Kindle).
Kindle Direct Publishing offers publishing opportunities to people who don't have a well-known name, a massive bankroll, or a life of leisure to do nothing but write. These authors (including me, hopefully) can write and publish, allowing Kindle/Amazon to handle the business aspect and technicalities. Because books are electronic, overhead costs are low, and books can be offered at reasonable prices.
I have researched Kindle Direct Publishing and feel that it is a good medium for me. At this point, most of the books are still in the planning stages, with a few works in progress. As I finish a book, I will make it available. (See the "About" tab for non-Kindle reading.)

My Story.
I grew up in central Pennsylvania and had the privilege of attending a Christian school for all twelve grades. After a couple of decades spent in various places and pursuits, I am now back in central Pennsylvania. In the meantime, I earned two degrees from Bob Jones University in South Carolina (1992 & 2003). I did missionary work in Aguascalientes, Mexico for 3 1/2 years. I taught for 6 1/2 years at a Christian school in New Hampshire and at two different schools in Pennsylvania for a total of 3 years.
After I was let go twice in less than three years due to Christian school budget issues, God provided a secular job through which He is currently meeting my needs. During one of my periods of unemployment, God enabled me to do my first official writing - a devotional book for Christians with chronic illness. This book came out of an initial 4-year battle with Lyme disease, something which has subsequently required many more years of treatment and eventually led to a condition called CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome).
God has used each of these various experiences - school, college, missions, teaching positions, job losses, health issues, and more - to teach me about Himself. By His grace, He has kept me following Him and learning more about Him.
