I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior in July 1984
and began writing the "Harwinton" series in 1988 as a way to tell
my nephew (now I have 3 of them) about Jesus. In 1991, I put the writing
aside to pursue learning American Sign Language. I was involved in
Deaf Ministry until 1999 and resumed writing at that time. "Middle
Name" has been rewritten to incorporate my love and respect for the
Deaf and their culture by adding a deaf Christian couple to Book One
of the series. It is my hope that the Lord will use this book to reach
deaf and hearing, old and young with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
