I was born at Ft. Sam Houston, an Army base in San Antonio, Texas. I attended the University of Texas, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Geological Sciences. For the next 22 years I worked various jobs, mainly as a legal assistant or as a computer analyst. In the last few years, I have finally been able to realise my life-long dream of becoming an author. I chose to concentrate on Soviet aviation of the Second World War because I find Soviet aircraft to be fascinating, and the Eastern Front to be not only historically important but fascinating as well. 'Il-2 Shturmovik: Red Avenger' is my first book through a publisher, Fonthill Media of the United Kingdom, but not my first book, as I have a self-published anthology, 'Alien Skies', available on this site. This anthology is composed of science-fiction and horror short stories, science-fiction and horror also being great interests of mine. For the future, I have many more aviation books that will be published through Fonthill Media, some of which have already been published. As of May 2021, in addition to the Il-2 book my published works include 'Lavochkin Fighters of the Second World War', 'Tupolev Tu-2: The Forgotten Medium Bomber', 'Soviet Strategic Bombers: The Hammer in the Hammer and the Sickle', and 'Soviet Bombers of the Second World War', all published through Fonthill Media and all available on Amazon. I have finished my book called 'Soviet Fighters of the Second World War', which has now been published (2021), and is also available on Amazon. I have finished editing a book on the Avro Shackleton, which should be published sometime this year (2023). I have been interviewed (August 2021) about Soviet WWII bombers for a six-part series for A&E UK on bombers of the Second World War, called 'The Bomber', which aired in the UK in the spring of last year (2022). In addition, I have now finished a book on modelling plastic aeroplane kits, which should be published early next year (2024). I am also finishing a book on a Soviet postwar strategic bomber, the Tu-16 Badger, which should be published next year (2024). I've been busy.
