About
Todd comes from a military family who settled down in South Austin TX in the 70's. It was an exciting time, a great place to grow up and stretch the imagination in what was developing as America's 'Third Coast', playing youth sports in S.Austin and skiing with friends on Lake Austin & Travis.He now resides outside Princeton TX in a semi-rural area close to Lake Lavon with nearby cotton, hay, and okra fields, cattle and horses, which he admires, but admits he'd rather be playing golf. He and his wife Loretta have between them four children, four grandchildren and two dogs.Todd attended the University of Texas at Austin, BA in Psy, minor Ancient Gk, and then Dallas Theological Seminary, ThM with emphasis on world religions. Never one to be pigeon holed he has enjoyed work as a framer, baseball umpire, landscaper, youth pastor, Sr. Pastor, financial consultant, missions coordinator and dog park minister, and now author.He delivered his first sermon at age seventeen and has written many short stories, dramas, and newspaper articles. Todd currently pastors a small rural TX church where he splits his time writing.His new Blue Moon Chronicle series, beginning with The Exit, is the culmination of his interests in exploring questions resulting from the cross roads of science, technology, spirituality, apocalyptic themes, and faith. Volume II in the BMC series, The Rising, will be out in May 2013.The great golf instructor/philosopher, Harvey Pinick quipped "if you play golf, you are my friend." These are analogous words to building bridges with strangers about something you love. Todd hopes his books accomplish this and entertain along the way.
