Introduction ...and I am the father of twelve kids, 7 of them married with kids. That leaves 5 kids still at home. My business partner is my best friend, Jan, an amazing illustrator who also happens to be my wife of 36+ years. For most of those years we made children together; now we just make children's books. Last I checked we have 18 grandchildren: sixteen in the cookie jar, two cooling on the countertop and one still in the oven.
Interests I enjoy reading, writing, crossword puzzles, baseball, college football, word games, and general family shenanigans.
Favorite Music I love all kinds of music, but am especially partial to music made by my own kids.
Favorite Books The Bible, American history books, anything by C.S.Lewis, Charles Dickens, A.W. Tozer, children's classics, and books by Lamplighter Publishing.
