The author is philosophically an optimist who seeks to find the very best of every situation. He resides in his hometown of Tallahassee, Florida where he is an established artist in the community; he is active in his church and is deeply rooted in his Christian faith. His core value is that the Universe is Moral. This belief impacts upon his choice of subject matter for writing as well as in the collection of paintings that he has created over the past twenty-five years. This first novel embraces all of these principles.
