I’m currently writing my second novel titled Queen of a Gentleman’s Game, the first in a three-book series, and in it I’m taking on the greatest challenge of my writing career so far: writing in first-person from the perspective of a...

The Best Time of My Life
It's late and we've just gotten home from flying in from Barbados, but I've got to write all this down now while it's fresh on my mind. From January 3 to now, this has unequivocally been the best time of my life.
If you read my last post, you know that I married my best friend, Courtney Moser,...
The Last Year or So, and What’s to Come in 2020
2019 was a year I will never forget. I read an article recently on The New York Times about how the "2010s were the end of normal"...and 2019 undoubtedly put a resounding exclamation point on that statement. I won't get in much detail, but for me...it was a good thing.
For what it's...
A Heart-to-Heart with All of You
For the last year, I have thought about what I would say to you today. It's the day before my debut novel releases to the world -- the day before the biggest dream I've ever imagined is realized. And so now...I want to have a heart-to-heart with you.
For the past few months, I've...

Want the Book Early? Message Me for a Free Copy!
It has been too long! A crazy month has led to this moment where, for mostly therapeutic purposes, I find myself back here writing. I have missed it for sure.
In the meantime, I've been doing some exciting things, though, including but not limited to perhaps the best sports experience I've ever...
“It’s only a dream until you write it down. Then it becomes a goal.”: Emmitt Smith, San Diego, and Returning to the West Coast
I'm sitting here in the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, California, where I return for the first time since 2015 when I was here for the Winner's Celebration event for Farm Bureau Insurance. San Diego is just a beautiful as it was then, though I've learned twice now...
“True Friends Never Forget”: The Real-Life Influence of My Debut Novel’s Character Dwight Kerry
I could choose many words to describe Dwight Berry, but I'll start by noting the first that comes to mind: selfless.
Indeed, Dwight Berry was one of the most selfless people I've ever known. He passed away in July 2018, but I can probably speak for so many people when I say this: he...
The Common Misperception of What It Means to “Change the World”
How many people have you ever heard say, or imply, that they want to do something to "change the world?" I once worked in the admissions office of my alma mater, Chowan University, and I cannot tell you how many students I met who said they aspired to do something in their life that would...
