Musicians, sports, mixed martial arts and biker clubs influenced my novels. While I was working for a welding supply business. I used my word processor to write my imagination during my own time at home. That thought was on my mind. Because I suddenly recalled a time when my mom told me that I have the ability to write novels. I knew that there would be a 50% percent chance that a publisher might not accept my manuscript. Less tha one week later PublisherAmerica gave me a contract. At the present time I have a second contract. My second novel is on the market since May 4, 2012. I put the synopsis on my website. Several years after I saw that movie "The Outsiders". I was informed that S.E. Hinton based this story on a combination of memories and imagination. That gave me an idea not to go strictly by imagination.
