"I wrote a couple of books, Let Life Begin and Life Has Begun after my wife's massive heart attack at the age of 39, but my most recent book is fiction. It's a crime thriller called Driven and is set in the Bartlett / Memphis area. The main character, Angela Harwell, is a badass MPD Domestic Violence detective who's fighting demons of her own even as she hunts down a ruthless gang leader, T-Bone Reed. I love her character; she's strong, smart, and determined. One of the important messages in the book is: No matter what happens to you when you're young, you can get over it. 

"It's not easy finding time to write between my day job as a process server with the Shelby County Court, caregiving for my wife, and my role as a father and grandfather, but I love it. I generally write a draft on Sunday and then do the edits and corrections through the week. My sister was a big fan of my work, and when she got sick, I was determined to finish Driven before she died. I worked like crazy and got it done with a couple of months to spare. The book has gotten some great reviews, and I've had several successful book-signings. There will definitely be more Angela Harwell novels."
