About

I have lived in rural northern Illinois for all of my adult life. I spent a good portion of my childhood in Arkansas, the home state of both parents. I am married to the love of my life, Barbara. We share our home with an overweight male cat named Hedgie, who is endlessly entertaining. I am the father of two boys, who are now grown and live (mostly) on their own. Barbara and I have a houseboat on a lake in central Illinois, and we love to spend weekends and vacations fishing, reading and enjoying the scenery. I have been a storyteller since I can remember, and my novel, "Dark Justice," is my first book-length work. I am currently working on my next thriller novel, as well as an inspirational book for young readers.

Light pulls the reader along, moving effortlessly between the past and the present as he spins a tale of revenge, loss, love, and yes, well-deserved justice. This book was as taut and enjoyable as any high-speed car chase movie.

The suspense in each storyline is tremendous and Mr. Light really knows how to build on it with each chapter. I truly had trouble putting this book down… the storyline was enthralling. I will definitely be looking for more from this author.”</span></span></span></font></p> <p></p><strong><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';">—<span style="letter-spacing:-.15pt;">Red Adept’s Kindle Book Review Blog</span></span></span></strong>
