Author Bio:
Todd was born a navy
brat in Sasabo Japan in 1962. After living in many different places, his family
finally settled down in the small town of Fort Pierce Florida, where his father
taught physics at the local college. A bit of a wild and rebellious youth, Todd
graduated high school, just barley. Following in his father’s footsteps he also
joined the navy.
After a knee injury
ended his naval career early, Todd returned to Ft Pierce resuming his wild
ways. In desperation his parents sent him to stay with his Grandmother in
Scotts Corner Kentucky, hoping some of the local values, hard work,
unconditional love of family among them, would rub off.
It did, Todd returned to
his family in Ft Pierce, found a job with Bellsouth as a telephone operator and
15 years passed. During which Todd met the love of his life Linda at his 31st birthday
party. After an intense romance, they were married 1 year later. However,
Linda came as a package deal, she had a daughter Corri whom Todd came to love
as his own daughter and by mutual consent, Todd adopted Corri making them one
happy family at last.
Todd and Linda took out
a second mortgage on their house and bought a flower shop, Linda’s lifelong
dream. And a good thing they did for after 15 years of service and 3,000,000
successfully answered calls with a 98% accuracy rating Bellsouth downsized and
closed the office Todd worked in. After recovering from back surgery to
correct, a ruptured disc Todd tried his hand at the culinary arts, graduating
from Le Cordon Bleu in Miami in 2005. This culminated with a chef’s position at
the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, a 5 star resort.
During his time at
culinary school his English professor a former college level creative writing
teacher gave Todd some advice, “You should try writing a book” he said. It was
some time later that he began his first book Revenge from Mars.
Todd now works full time
at the flower shop with his wife Linda and their daughter Corri and is
finishing his third novel in his spare time.
