He intends The Gargoyle Chronicles to be a seven book series. With Books 1 and 2 published, and Books 3-5 nearing completion, his fans have many characters—human and otherwise—to love...or fear.

Early on, my wife and I were told we'd never have children. It is a life-altering, emotionally disruptive thing to hear. We know the anguish that others go through that receive this news. As providence would have it, the doctors got it wrong. About a year later, we welcomed our sole child into the world. I often read to her while she was in the womb, and kept reading to her for many years. She's a true blessing, and not just to her parents. Her bubbling creativity includes drawing, music and video creation. But she especially likes to write. Her first novel (NeverSeen) was published when she was 17, under the pen name, Taylor Hunter. It garnered critical praise and several awards. Going to university delayed her 2nd novel for 4 years. But that will change this year. Rejoice! #proudfather #amwriting #fantasy #adventure #valentine #gratitude #daughtersrock #creativity
Book Excerpt
The Quest for the Temple Key
The greatest influence upon this story is Jessica, my daughter. Not only did I write it for her, in many respects the main character, Danielle, is based upon her. Jessica got wildly involved in this tale, making many excellent sketches of several characters and important scenes, including one that this cover design is based upon. To top it off, she contributed many plot ideas, twists and turns, as she’d eagerly read a chapter immediately after I’d completed it. I’m very grateful! And proud, too.
