About the Author: "There is a writer in all of us! The influences most notable in my life, other than being a born again Christian, begin with my 7th & 8th grade English Teacher, Ms. Donnie Watts. Ms. Donnie took no prisoners when it came to the use of the English Language; we conjugated verbs, we diagrammed sentences, we had spelling bees, we had to read aloud from the classics, and were even graded on our penmanship. I was also schooled by Mrs. Haller in Latin I & II, although as a teenager I had no idea how valuable my early education would be. When I retired in 2004 I followed the teachings of Ms. Julia Cameron in her book, "The Artist's Way". I learned to simply write down by hand, my thoughts, in a free-flow manner every morning for 12 weeks; on a morning in week 9, with my pen and 3 pages of yellow legal paper, my first story began to tell itself. I have been good at many things: Sales, Sales Mgmt., U.S. Air Force Physiological Training Instructor, Space Suit Technician/Rescue Tech at NASA, and Auto Dealership Service Advisor, Fleet Sales Mgr, Musician/High School Band Director, Landscape worker and Supervisor ... so one can see the pattern ... I am blessed with many talents but was never happy with any career until I began to write. I most enjoy writing fiction because it allows the 'little boy' in me to come forth and be free to let his imagination break out just as Ms. Julia Cameron teaches. I am now happier than I have ever been because I now have my laptop, my grandchildren whom I adore, both 'my exes who live in Texas' and are friends of mine, and a fine friend and sometimes co-author named Raymond D. Mason, author of over 60 books himself. I have recently published via CreateSpace and Kindle, the fourth in a series of historical novels based on my 'Knight ancestry'; American Knights- "Miles Knight: The Immigrant", Book I, published March 3, 2014.
