About Major

I was born and raised in Chicago (South Side!), IL, attended high school in Meridian, MS, and I attended college in both Nashville, TN and Prairie View, TX.

When I'm not writing, internetting, or sleeping, I work as an Instructional Designer/ Trainer, assisting university faculty in the development and delivery of online and hybrid courses.

I currently live in Houston, TX with my wife Denise and our son, Major the 2nd (aka Super-Major or M2).

As a child, I watched my dad (Rest In Power) read novel after novel. He read, for the most part, sci/fi, fantasy and westerns. I always wondered what it was about those books that so engrossed him. When I asked him about it, he would simply say (he was a master of both hyperbole and understatement, by the way) "Reading these books keeps me outta trouble."

I knew there was more to it than that. When I was approaching my teen years I raided my dad's library, making it a point to read at least two or three novels in each genre that he collected. In a short time I realized what it was that captivated my dad. Those fantastic worlds and adventures provided a pleasant escape from the often harsh realities of everyday life on the South Side of Chicago. Fantasy was my favorite genre and sci-fi ran a close second. I was mesmerized by authors like Terry Brooks, Christopher Stasheff, and Isaac Asimov. Their work inspired me to begin creating my own stories.

I love building worlds to create the same escape for people that other authors created for me. I hope you can escape with me. Over and over and over again!
