With a doctorate in ministry, post graduate work in psychology, and forty years of counseling, B. Jay Cannon applies deep insight into human personality to the characters of his writings. He has traveled widely, speaking across the country and abroad, dabbled in martial arts, china painting, genealogy, and sold his pottery and wire sculptures. An avid fisherman, he learned to sail and ski in retirement. Profits from this latest novel, Texas Tough will go to establish an English scholarship at the University of Dubuque.
