The Wingman's Refuge
"Connecting with readers and providing quality work are an author's highest duties."
Author Insights
My author biography is above, alongside my business bio. What is the crux of what I do as an interactive author? I believe that providing quality products and informing readers about the newest innovations in writing is how I can best connect with readers. This includes providing additional formats for my work, samples as appropriate, and editorial comments. A great perk for readers is my Author Direct Online promotions, which save them at least 15 percent and offer deals you will never see on a bookstore website. Please enjoy the information and feel free to contact me through the Let's Chat button below. Also, below are some of my author profiles for you to check out.
Why Writing is My Refuge
Although I firmly believe in my duties as an author, that is not the only reason I became one. The Read Here button links to my Brainz Magazine article, "Four Reasons Why Writing is My Refuge, and How it Became a Business Opportunity." Writing is my refuge from the daily pressures of life. Fortunately, this provided an opportunity for me to create a line of business that has served me well, which led to my authorship.
The Iraq I Knew... Book I: Into the Storm From Saddam Hussein to Weapons of Mass Destruction to Al Qaeda in Iraq
"There's nothing like having your work recognized."
Entering book awards contests is sort of like playing the lottery: "You gotta play to win." In 2025, it was the first time I entered The Iraq I Knew... into book award contests. Although I thought my work was worthy of recognition, it's even better that a board of judges felt the same way. The awards ranking and the certificate both led to the book award narrative pages, and the book cover leads to the Amazon product page. Please look for Book II in The Iraq I Knew... series, The Search for WMD.

Purchase from IngramSpark
As I always write, authors value autonomy over their work. IngramSpark is also the wholesale distributor for my books. I decided at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic that I wanted and needed to expand my reach with other distributors, and IngramSpark does that for me. I love the quality of their printing, customer service, and competitive pricing. While their prices are rarely less than my Author Direct Online pricing, they offer reduced pricing in the market. If you want an alternative to Amazon, try IngramSpark.
