On the 8th November 1961, I was brought into this world by Dr. Glen F. Wade, MD in the old Mercy Hospital - NW 13th at Hudson - in Oklahoma City. During the school year, I attended the John Glenn Elementary School on South Land and during the summer's I was shipped off to my grandparents in Sequoyah County in far eastern Oklahoma.

In the summer of 1979 I began writting a short story for my senior english I knew I would be taken and it would continue to grow into a full novel as my education continued thru college. It is unpublished - I grew tired of the rejection letters from all the literary agents who seemed to have more to do than actually read the manuscriipt.

My first published work Oklahoma City - Land Run to Statehood was released in August 1999. The second and third followed shortly thereafter; Oklahoma City - Statehood to 1930 & Oklahoma City - 1930 to the Millennium.
