After years of entertaining friends with random short stories, observational articles and a variety of recreational writings I was finally challenged to put those skills to use writing an actual novel. The idea began to develop and unfold and the story seemed to flow with no end, so what started as a simple bucket list item has developed into the Crown Acres series. Some ideas just didn't fit in and will be developed into other opportunities outside of the Crown Acres universe, but the writing never seems to stop.While I am not any one character from any book, I enjoy spreading bits of myself throughout all of my characters. It allows me to leverage my time in the US Army, working for Military Contractors, armed security, the tech industry and more against my role as a father, husband, son, brother, and friend.
