<p>I like the power of good fiction to transform, because it engages the whole person--intellect, emotion, spirit.<br />
<br />
Fiction based on real truth can change a life, because the reader becomes caught up in the characters and the events, and is forced to consider issues and outcomes that go beyond everyday experiences and the common wisdom.<br />

My wife and I live in Atlanta with the joys and challenges of a large family. I've been researching and writing about faith, government and business for over twenty-five years, including three novels, an anthology of short stories, and eight years of blog posts.<br />

After attending London School of Economics as a Marshall Scholar (1968-70), I served for three years as the Communications and Intelligence Officer on the USS Wainwright (CG-28), based in Charleston, S.C. Since then I've logged a lot of years in all aspects of commercial and investment real estate, in both the U.S. and Russia. Parenting, grandparenting, and writing are my passions.</p>
