Why I Write: My Writing Philosophy

Available as PDF or printout.
My books are good for both Christian teens and those not yet Christ-followers. They teach Christian values and life-style without being preachy.

The main characters in my Bayou Boys Adventure books are practicing Christians; they live their everyday lives as Christ-follows. That is they read their Bibles, pray, go to church and Sunday school and endeavor to live good lives in word and deed.

The main characters are normal boys and girls and have no super powers. They are not vampires, witches, demons, angels, or some other kind of beings. They have only the tools that you or I have available at their disposal for fighting evil and enduring hardship. They learn from their experiences and they learn (with the reader) about their world.

Though they deal with “paranormal” issues—ghosts, zombies, monsters—all of these are explained scientifically and shown to be the deceptive work of mortals. These are the types of mysteries that he characters solve.

The books also teach about the value and preservation of the bayous, the Cajun culture and language, the Louisianan geography and history, and do so through adventure, fun and humor.

I believe that young teens need books that show they are empowered by the Spirit of God and their God-given human abilities, and not by magic, super powers or abilities.
