In addition to writing, his other artistic endeavors include woodworking and drawing portraits. His drawings have been shown in numerous art galleries in and around central Kentucky. MAMA'S SONG is his first novel, and he is currently busy writing the sequel, tentatively entitled The Man in the Wind.
