After earning a degree in art at Murray State University, I still had

Here's my favorite picture of my dog, Jackie (October 2, 1991-April

appearances in all my books.

Here I am in more recent times at a book signing in
hometown Louisville, Kentucky, playing the song from Isaac.

have asked me how it goes, so I've finally added an audio file
on Isaac's page.
