I was born in Council Grove, Kansas and lived in the sunflower state to the age of fifteen. My parents moved us to Oklahoma in 1968. There I met my wife Charlotte and her beautiful family. We have been married forty years. We have one son, Sean. He and his lovely wife Kathy have two children: Gavin & Julia.

History & language have always commanded my attention and I enjoy writing the most where the two of them are joined.

I have six published chapbooks: "Post Cards of Faith", Victorian Violet Press ; "Measured Days", Heavy Hands Ink Press ; "Kevin Heaton - Breaking Ground", MLM The Quiet Press ; "Chronicles", Finishing Line Press;  "Family's Family", Aldrich Publishing; and "Spirit of the Buffalo", Reddashboard Publishing LLC.
