Some of my favorite books. 

I love stories. I will never forget getting lost with a pet raccoon named Rascal or hunting the Ozarks with Little Ann and Old Dan. I felt the pain of Ponyboy and the triumph of Rocky. 

As I grew older, I found knowledge as well as escape. 

A coach taught me about teamwork and sacrifice.  I learned about the horrors of war and the evil within men. I was profoundly affected by the boys trapped on that island and how they turned on each other in Lord of the Flies. I was drawn into the world of hobbits, elves, and dwarves. During each experience, I found hope, love, and beauty in the stories I loved. I found, what I needed in each story. There is no better way to grow and preserve knowledge, than writing it down so others may share it. 

Telling stories is a time-honored passion. 

There is no better way of passing along information and wisdom than a good story. I have always loved stories. Books, movies, listening to someone tell a story, it doesn't matter. A wonderful story can transport you into a make-believe world where you can experience anything. Stories can make us feel alive. We can be part of a world different than our own. There is no better life pursuit than speaking and writing about life so that we may all share in your knowledge.  I hope that your lives have beautiful stories and that you share them. 

My next project will be the first book in my "Advice From a Friend Series." The books in this series will be short but offer readers advice, experience, and entertainment. I'm hoping the first of these books will be ready in 2025.
