ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm Arthur!

For as long as I can remember, I've made it a habit to carry out four routines on a daily basis: (1) wake up, (2) drink coffee, (3) write, (4) go to bed.

By following this rigid schedule for the last 37 years, I've managed to stay alive, publish a bestselling book, snag a couple of awards, mentor dozens of students, and purchase a Keurig Coffee Maker.

Let's chat.

WORK WITH ME

Here's a brief look at how I earned that sweet, sweet Keurig Coffee Maker:


In college, I stumbled into the world of creative writing during the fall semester of my senior year. I was on track to complete my business major that following spring, but I decided to enroll in a poetry writing class just for fun. Well, thanks to the work of poets Octavio Paz and Pablo Neruda and poets/memoirists Mary Karr and Maya Angelou, one—or all nine—of the Greek muses smacked me alongside the head. Suddenly, I found myself counting in iambs and dactyls instead of dollars and cents (or, as my mother would recommend its spelling: sense).

Once I finished my undergraduate degree, I was accepted into the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Creative Writing program at Miami University, where I continued to write, study, and keep my student loan payments in deferment with Sallie Mae. While in graduate school, I fell in love with the works and writing styles of Dean Koontz, George R Martin, and even Dr Sues. Then, I had a daughter and from there on out, I knew I wanted to publish children's stories.
