Man of Exile (ePub)

I was born in 1974 in Omaha, NE. I have since uprooted my life there and have moved with my wife to the beautiful country hills of Arkansas.I took a love of reading and telling stories at an early age, grade school-ish.I strongly believe in most of the writing advice I've learned from teachers and self-help writing books. Here is where I disagree. I've been told by many to "write what you know!'". That's all well and good if you know a lot. However, for some of us, our knowledge is running a very short race, probably with a mental "bad knee" that makes us run more in circles instead of a straight line. So I usually choose to write about what I don't know. How else do we learn new things if we never explore the dark unknown corners of existence?I have also chosen to resist all urges to be pigeon-holed as a single genre writer. I love reading different types of novels just as I love writing them.

I write in the range of mystery, fantasy, thrillers, dramas, sci-fi, action/adventure, comedy, mainstream, satire and anything else that might seem challenging enough. Basically, if the plot idea has strong legs, the characters a great purpose, then the idea deserves to be written. Although I will tell you to never expect a Danielle Steel or Nicolas Sparks type novels from me. I've got to draw a line somewhere!So the rundown is simple if you're expecting to find my work nicely bundled up in one genre because it's the genre you're most comfortable traveling those pages, then I'm not likely an author for you. But, if you want to go on a fun road trip and see those odd side attractions everybody else misses because they're
