One of my earliest memories is telling stories to my kindergarten class. I've always enjoyed making people smile and laugh, though I struggled with spelling, sentence structure and writing in general.
In high school, I wrote an essay on What America Means to Me. My teacher, Ms. Eleanor Olsen, encouraged me to rewrite it and write it better. She then secretly entered it into a writing contest. She typed it up for me. I won. While the prize and accolades were appreciated, I was more excited at the thought that I could write something that others wanted to read.

In 1999 I started a small weekly newspaper. A year later I bought out the competitor newspaper and merged them into one - The Morgan County News. My goal was to not only report on the important news stories of the day, but to give people a place to read happy, encouraging and uplifting stories. My column, Doug's Den, produced over 350 positive stories during its run.

With the release of my first novel, I'm excited to, again, give readers a place to find joy and comfort despite the unfair, uncertainties, and sadness of life.
