Bio

I’m an indie author of high-octane action thrillers. I love WordPress and I’ve been using it to power my websites for more than a decade now.

I have an interest in developing plugins that help writers.

WordPress Origin Story

I first tried WordPress as a blog only addition to my website before discovering that it could power my entire web presence easily without having to mess too much with code.
