Science fiction buffs, today I am happy to welcome a fellow educator and OakTara author, Kevin Thompson, who hails from sunny Florida. He's written his first sci fi book, THE SERPENT'S GRASP, which was just released in January, and he's going to tell us about that in a moment. Welcome, Kevin--tell us a little about yourself.

I’ve
been married to my wonderful wife, Cindy, for over 30 years now. I live in
Central Florida, actually in the same house where I was raised since I was
three (I was born in a different house in town that has since been torn down).
I graduated high school “Summa Cum Later” as I wasn’t the world’s best student
(and we’ll just leave it at that). I now have a B.A. in Bible from Houghton
College (Houghton, NY), an M.A. in Christian Studies from Wesley Biblical Seminary
(Jackson, MS), and an M.Ed. in Educational Leadership from National-Louis
University (Wheeling, IL – Tampa, FL Campus). Not bad for a kid who finished 87th
out of 200 something. Just goes to show that not everyone blooms when they walk across the stage, shake the hand of the principal, and receive that high
school diploma.
I like your candid approach, Kevin. My own husband, Clark, didn't enjoy school, either. In fact, he never planned on going to college--ever. Ten years after high school, the Lord had other plans for him, and now he's a teacher with more than thirty years of experience!
I
also play the drums (self-taught) in our Church’s Praise Band. I speak in
churches on occasion, and hope to do more of that as the book catches on (hint,
hint, nudge, nudge).
Perhaps someone out there will pick up on your hint. I'll help you along: KEVIN IS AVAILABLE TO SPEAK IN CHURCHES.
