About the Author

My latest book, 21st CENTURY ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN: TOM AND BECKY IN ST. PETERSBURG, is the second in a now two-book 21st Century Adventures of Huck Finn. The series unleashes Huck Finn's unique personality on the 21st century. In this adventure, Huck, going by Mark Finn, needs to dodge a shady cabal of scientists led by Dr. Knotts and avoid getting put in the system by the government, while trying to win Lucy Thoreau's hand by getting named Tom at St. Petersburg's annual Tom and Becky competition. Can Huck pull this inside straight? In 2006, I earned a Ph.D. in history from Purdue, and in 2013 I completed an MBA at DePaul. I'm an asst. men's basketball coach at Missouri State. My wife Christy is essentially superwoman, and together we have six children.
