C. D. was conceived and born in the backseat of a ‘55 Chevy while the radio poured the sounds of the Kings and Queens of rock and roll. At three he was greasing his hair. By five he was wearing shades and at seven he was smoking unfiltered cigarettes. That’s what he tells people. But don’t let the shaved head and handle bar mustache fool you because beneath the buckled boots, black jeans and muscle shirts lurks a dreamer who desires nothing more than to deliver a one-two punch of heart and soul into every tale he tells. While C.D. didn’t have much patience for a formal higher education, it was the romance in the school of life that appealed to his nomadic nature. Growing up cruising the valley streets of California to exploring the small towns in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada gave birth to the characters and places in his work. It was the idea that your perfect world could lie beyond the mist of the ocean, the bend in the river or through the tunnel down the railroad tracks that captivated C. D.’s imagination. You will find the influences of Rod Serling, Ray Bradbury and Stephen King wrapped in the nostalgia of television shows like The Twilight Zone, The Wonder Years and Mad Men. You will see nods to films such as American Graffiti, Somewhere In Time and La La Land. Now in the autumn of his life, C. D. has taken his years as an accomplished actor, screenwriter and train enthusiast and applied them to the Hickory Springs and Railways West Novels. He has settled into life in the Pacific Northwest with his lovely wife and daughter where he hosts a weekly YouTube radio show featuring the news from Hickory Springs. You can still catch him waxing that old ‘55 Chevy with his two dogs down at the Bee-Hive Diner. If you see him, tell him I sent you. He’ll most likely buy you a shake and tell you a tale or two from yesteryear.
