His third novel, Ragtime Dudes in a Thin Place, won the 2016 Royal Palm Literary Award.He says:"I started out in creative writing, but then spent 20 years in the design, development, and implementation of the preeminent medical practice management and electronic health records systems. During that period of my life I wrote a college textbook which became a national bestseller in its field. I left the software company, wrote more textbooks, and became a fulltime author. Between textbooks I turned my attention back to my creative writing origins. I began working on stage plays and then on Lancelot's Grail. I have since published three collections of my poetry, written two more novels, and recently published the third edition of my EHR textbook. I am currently working on final edits of Lancelot's Disciple, a sequel to Lancelot's Grail." |
