Press Kit

At the heart of every story I create is a simple truth: I love writing. From the first spark of an idea to the final polished sentence, the process of bringing characters, worlds, and emotions to life has always been my greatest passion. Writing isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. Every project I undertake is fueled by a deep respect for storytelling’s ability to move people, ignite imaginations, and leave lasting impressions, just as stories moved me when I was young.

Over the years, my work has spanned genres, styles, and formats, but one thing remains constant: my commitment to crafting stories that resonate. Whether building rich, atmospheric worlds or diving into the intricacies of human emotion, I strive to create experiences that readers can see, feel, and remember. I want the stories to reflect the wondrous ways I've always seen the world.

This media kit offers a glimpse into my work, my journey, and the creative spirit that drives me forward. Thank you for taking the time to explore it.

Biography

 

I have dreamed of being a writer ever since I was a little boy growing up in Northeast Texas. My imagination has always been wild and carefree. My first typewriter was a little plastic blue toy typewriter when I was 10 years old. I wore that thing out writing stories and screenplays, even though I didn’t know the first thing how to do so. When I was in high school, I told myself and my friends that I would write a novel one day, and then life happened. All these years later most of those friends are gone, even a friend or two who inspired characters within these pages. It took me 14 years to write my novel, Hale County, the only thing in my life I never truly compromised. While I was writing Hale County I also wrote many other books. So, to that young me sitting on the hardwood floor those many decades ago, typing away, letting that imagination soar, I just want to say, “we did it.” 

There are many more stories to tell.
