Babychain Blues

It was twenty-five years later and yet things were eerily turning in a full circle for Cole Junger.
On the surface he was an ordinary guy, a simple man living a simple life in Rivers Bend but it had not always been that way for Cole.
The random chance that brought him to young Caitlin May's door was proving to be the lynch pin for a catastrophe. If only he could have stayed out of it but something about the poor kid had drawn him. Some forgotten sense of responsibility or maybe of a duty earned overseas.
It all went back to his old friend Benny and getting disastrously involved with a lone crazed biker. After that the baby they had brought along and two unsuspecting hikers out in the wild woods. That and a whole parcel of stolen cash money and precious stones.
Cole had hoped to have left it all behind him now but some bad people never forget and there was one sure thing and that was that the past was about to rise up and come at him with the overwhelming impact of a tidal wave.

It's not such a big step from pictures to writing.
And that's how it started out for me. I've illustrated more Western book covers than I care to mention and been doing it for a long time. No hardship, I hasten to add, I love the genre and have since a kid, although originally I made my name painting the cover art for other people, now at least, I manage to create covers for my own books.
A long-term closet writer, only comparatively recently, with a family grown and the availability of self-publishing have I managed to be able to write and get my stories out there.
As I did when illustrating, research counts a lot and has inspired many of my Westerns and Thrillers to have a basis in historical fact or at least weave their tale around the seeds of factual content.
Having such a visual background, mostly it's a matter of describing the pictures I see in my head and translating them to the written page. I guess that's why one of my early four-star reviewers described the book like a 'Western movie, fast paced and full of action.'
I enjoy writing them; I hope folks enjoy reading the results.
