Since my service in the first Gulf War, I’ve been writing. For better than 30 years, I’ve been able to explore the human condition in all its glory and failure. Each time I write a new novel, my spirit is returned to the desert where I learned that none of us is ever alone—ever—and that we’re all in this together.

I’ve written two dozen books, with four of them—The Rockin’ Chair, Twelve Months, Pressed Pennies, and Gooseberry Island—becoming #1 national bestsellers. And I’m just getting started!
