Welcome back, Ace. What would you like
for our readers to know about you personally?
For me the best part of each week is Sunday night when my
wife and I feed between 25-50 college kids at our house. These young people
give me such optimism for the future. They are service minded, and I believe
they will fix many of the problems my generation caused.
Tell us about your
family.
My wife Kathy is a professor in the education department at Ouachita Baptist University Dallas , and Rance is in California .
I attended Ouachita
back when it was still a college, the first two and a half of my college years.
Have you written other nonfiction books?
I have written more than forty nonfiction books. I tend to
go back and forth between novels and nonfiction. My bestsellers in the
nonfiction area are Lassie A Dog’s Life,
The Stories Behind The Best-Loved Songs of Christmas, and Stories Behind The Great Traditions of
Christmas.
Do you have any other
books in the works right now?
I have three novels and a book on dog heroes that are
scheduled for release in the next year. The first of those is a tense mystery, The Color of Justice, and the next will be
Man’s Best Hero.
What kinds of hobbies
and leisure activities do you enjoy?
I love college sports and see as many games and matches
featuring college kids as I can in person. I have a 1957 Wurlitzer Jukebox that
keeps me busy and a 1934 Auburn 652Y sedan
that I drive often. I also collect old radio shows.
Why did you write the
featured book?
I have written devotionals for years and have found the ones
that have resonated the longest have been wrapped around music. So Music
For Your Heart was born from those experiences. I wanted to include
popular or hit songs that everyone knew in order to reach a larger audience. My
goal was to pen a devotional book that even folks who normally didn’t read
devotional books would want to read.
What do you want the
reader to take away from the book?
My goal is to give readers a book they will enjoy while
presenting a few spiritual concepts that might give them a way to put faith
into action.
Where on the Internet
can the readers find you?
