"Quirky" is the nice word my friends use to describe me, mostly because I'm more like a literary character than a typical person. Larger than life, I enjoy writing books that expand kids' horizons through relatable heroes, travel, history, different cultures, and action adventure.

Background Information

I wanted to be a writer since I was thirteen, when I read Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. I put the book down, I looked up, and I said, "I want to be able to talk to a reader the way J.D. Salinger just spoke to me."

I've written fourteen novels, two stage plays, three movie scripts, and a dozen short stories, often instead of working paying jobs like people tell me I'm supposed to do.

While I was working in China, I became fascinated with the Terra-Cotta Soldiers. I turned that fascination into Escape of the Terra-Cotta Soldiers, Book One in the Ethan Sparks Adventures series for kids ages 9-13 and up, which was published in 2008.

My love for Greek mythology has help me create my latest -- Revenge of Poseidon's Trident -- which was published in February 2010.

I live in the foothills of North Carolina with my wife, Jenn and our two dachsunds, Natalie and Carson, who have agreed to be our children.
