I am an Author. Books
People ask me whether it’s right for a believing Christian to write lies for a living. I always answer the way I think C.S. Lewis would have–I don’t write lies. I write the truth in a form people will hear it. Sometimes that’s telling the stories of things that actually happened. Sometimes it’s not. But either way, what I write is true.
I believe we are the stories we tell ourselves. In which case, I better write stories I’ll be proud of having told.
The published tally sits at: three nonfiction books, including From Poop to Gold, the story of the marketing magic of the Harmon Brothers ad agency (think Squatty Potty); three short story compilations, including Twelve Upon a Time, is a collection of fifteen fairy tales for adults and children, and Xeno, short stories of obscure sorrows; and six short-story anthologies, best exemplified by his “Deep Within the Corners of My Mind”, published by Incandescent Phoenix in the anthology Wings of Renewal.
And then two novels in the Trinity Flynn series (think Nancy Drew crossed with Agent Carter and a quart bottle of Amelia Earhart): Trinity Flynn and the Five Points Gang and Trinity Flynn and the Kidnappers of the Black Hand. There’s a book of shorts, too, featuring the same characters–The Bones Stand Up. All are available at Drabatic Press.
Summer 2023 saw the publication of Cheating Death, the first book in the Cheating Death series, featuring Sara Elizabeth Twopenny Rogers, the world’s most reluctant serial killer. And Death, her boss.
I ghostwrite (five books published). I’m expensive, because I don’t charge by the word, I charge by the awesome. And when I write for you, I am–this is the critical bit–awesome.

Drabatic Press is a labor of love built around the idea that authors can do better work when they control not only the work (writing) and the publishing (as in self-pub) but the customer contacts as well (try that with Amazon). It’s a system that has produced tremendous results with both fiction and nonfiction titles, and it could work for you, too. Check it out at the link above.
