With two well-built cops at the door, an extremely attractive, half-naked woman behind him to the right, and a dead body on the floor to the left, Greg wondered where he had gone wrong. The obvious answer was he had met a woman.Greg was an Eliminator; a government funded black-ops program, designed to eliminate known threats without government involvement. However, when poor intel leads to the death of two children, Greg decides he's had enough, and disappears. Though hunted, he has the skill to stay hidden and is sure no one will ever find him. Then he makes the mistake of letting a woman with her own problems into his life and soon is in enmeshed in a massive manhunt with him as the prey.With the woman trailing along and killers everywhere, Greg must lose himself in the Smoky Mountains until he can figure out why he has drawn so much attention. Dodging the FBI, two vying factions within his old agency, the woman's abusive husband and a Latin drug lord, Greg risks everything to survive and determine who he has to eliminate to erase the threat.

I have been a teacher for thirty-six years. I began writing a number of years ago for fun. I’m not sure anyone starts writing for any other reason or no one would ever continue. It is something I had always wanted to do, but got started late in life.

I took advantage of the fact that I had a student teacher one year to begin my first story. I had a blast. The story wasn’t very good, but it didn’t matter, I was only writing for me anyway. In fact, I had so much fun I started a second immediately; then a third. But it wasn’t until I finished my fourth one that I finally let someone read one. It was with her encouragement that I began researching the possibility of getting published. This site is to document my journey as a writer and all the learning this teacher is doing along the way.
