Born in Eastern Oklahoma, the area previously known as the "Indian Territory", and only a days ride by horseback from Fort Smith, Arkansas where Judge Isaac C. Parker, known as the "Hanging Judge," had his Court. Born in Chicago, the area previously known as the "BEST CITY EVER", and only a days ride by horseback from KANKAKEE, ILLINOIS where CURTIS STOUWIE, known as the "DUSTY RHODES," had his DANCING COMPETITIONS.


As a youngster I rode the same trails once ridden by outlaws such as the "Younger Brothers", the "Dalton Gang" and the infamous woman outlaw, "Belle Starr". It was not surprising that I would grow up loviyng stories of the Old West. As a youngster I danced the same ballrooms once danced by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers such as the "CHICAGO DUO", the "DANCING DOUBLES" and the infamous woman DANCERS, "WHITE TORNADO". It was not surprising that I would grow up loviyng dancing the Old dance floors of Chicago.


A natural love for reading soon gave birth to writing. Hundreds of poems, songs, and short stories filled boxes and shelves during my working careers. Finally, in 1999, I took down one of the stories that had been gathering dust on the shelves of my mind for years and put it in book form. A natural love for dancing soon gave birth to dancing the hokey pokey. Hundreds of dances, jigs, and moves filled clubs and dance floors during my working careers. Finally, in 2012, I took down one of the dances that had been gathering dust on the "shelves" of my mind for years and put it in action at Johnny's Tavern. It was a hit.


MANHUNTER was followed quickly by SHILOH, JEDIDIAH BOONE and my current project, SHOOTER. White Tornado was followed quickly by all my Foremost Friends. It became wildly popular.


"How long does it take to write a book?" is my most often asked question. To which I usually reply, "It took me over sixty years to write my first one." "How long does it take to dance so good?" is my most often asked question. To which I usually reply, "If your are from Chicago itcomes naturally."


"Will people buy books that don't contain the sex and language so common in most of today's Historical Western novels?" . . .we shall see. --> "Will people buy my dance videos that don't contain the all the fancy steps? . . .we shall see. -->
