I was reared in the town of Marthaville, Louisiana, whose metropolitan population consisted of 250 souls. The fact that I was the great-great grandson of the town's founder and his wife Martha, however, did nothing for my financial situation or my social status.
Most folks in Marthaville considered me the kid who would never get into much trouble and who would spend the rest of my life pastoring southern fundamentalist churches. My two acts of rebillion were majoring in theater--that took care of the first assumption--and becoming an Episcopalian--that took care of the second.
A retired professor, I spent over forty years of my life teaching and directing theater. Now I take up my pen to write My Father's Sins, a murder mystery--my favorite genre. I have always admired the pens of Poe, Christie, Doyle, Kellerman--both of them--Follet , Grafton, Eco, and scores of others. I hope that someone somewhere will admire my humble contribution to the genre.
I live with my wife JoAnne, miniature schnauser Rascal, and calico cat Bella in upstate South Carolina.
Birth Place: Marthaville, LA USA

My Father's Sins
THE REVEREND MICHAEL RICHEY, rector of St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church and chaplain to the Madison Police Department, is blessed with a beautiful family, an enthusiastic congregation, and a fulfilling ministry to the homeless men and women of Madison, South Carolina. However, when the police discover the body of a homeless man in a street-side stairwell, MPD Chief Detective Jerry Majors surprisingly implicates Father Mike in the old man’s murder. To prove his innocence, Mike pledges to find the killer himself, despite the strong objections of his close friend, Police Detective Carlos Ruiz, and his beloved bishop, the Right Reverend Barbara Michener. Then Mike makes an earth-shattering discovery: the killer is targeting him—and not only him but also his ten-year-old son, Tim. Now he’s working against time. He must find the killer—now.
