Welcome to our revised website with many new benefits for readers and writers.

Because of your tremendous support, 50-plus of my juvenile and adult novels have been published with sales in millions of copies. I have taught fiction writers across the country for about 30 years. My wife, Cicely, has been a newspaper columnist for over 25 years. To help readers and writers, frequent changes are made to this website, so please browse all of it to find the new additions.
