Early and Personal Life

Born in 1953 on the 30th of October, he was born and raised in the area of Cleveland in Ohio in the United States of America. Growing up in the area, he was to take a primary interest in politics and, most notably, the law, which was his to make up his first profession. This was to form the basis of his upbringing, thus working to provide the foundations of his writing much later on.

Educated at Cornell University where he went on to graduate from, he gained a B.A. in 1976, before going on to attend Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. It was in 1979 that he achieved his J.D. cum laude from there, thus securing his credentials within the field of the law and the judiciary system. This then provided him with the foundations required for giving his material the academic basis necessary when writing.

It was during his time studying at Cleveland that he also worked as an editor of articles for the Cleveland State Law Review. After this he went into law and politics, serving on a number of different councils, before being appointed to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. During this time from 2001 on-wards he undertook a variety of different fights and challenges whilst serving there.

Still writing and serving to this day, he is still an active member of the Republican Party, as well as a lawyer. With more books to come, specifically within his Mike Garin series of thrillers, there’s still a lot more on the horizon for him. As his writing career grows from strength-to-strength, he’s fast becoming a well established presence on the literary scene, something which will continue for sometime to follow.

Working as a black Republican he has faced his fair share of challenges throughout the years and has emerged all the stronger having dealt with them. This has weighed heavily on his writing and his opinions as well, shaping the man he is today, which can be seen reflected within his work.

Serving on a number of different committees throughout his career in both law and politics, he’s created a name to be reckoned with. A singular presence, there’s nobody else quite like him, a factor which is clearly reflected within his work and writing. This has marked him out as a well respected voice in the industry, as well as someone with an enormous amount of influence.

Bush in 2001 for the U.S. Commission of Civil Rights, he was fast becoming a powerful presence within political circles. Over time these appointments have become an overwhelming factor in his writing, allowing him an inside knowledge providing an expertise unlike any other.

   What happened to the Mike Garin series? Is there going to be a book #3? Really been looking forward to it, but 3-4 years have gone by since Second Strike (#2), and can’t find anything newer.
