During his writing journey he's dabbled in several genres, including mystery, suspense, science fiction, fantasy, and literary fiction. He is currently focusing on crime stories of justice, vengeance, and redemption. He wants his books to bring hope to readers that may not know Jesus as Lord. His novels are written from a Christian worldview and present the Gospel in some form by some character or characters.
