Born near Detroit Michigan and then transplanted to Tampa, Florida, Douglas now finds himself in rural Kentucky, He has been writing for most of his life. He has been married to his soul mate Julie, since 1998. He has two children, Pam and Dallas.
John-Boy Walton was a major influence who led him to write. That character's smooth voice, full of 20/20 wisdom and confidence, drew him into the Walton family's story every week. Similar to John-Boy's family, his was large too. As the second youngest of eight children, Douglas fancied himself to be the writer of the family. Just as in the Walton family, all of the children grew up and went their own way, becoming chefs, truckers, medical workers, and more. And still, Douglas writes, thanking John-Boy every time he starts a new project.

He buried himself in his work with the hope of forgetting his failed marriage. It almost worked, but sometimes life gives you what you need rather than what you want.
Professor Drath had been researching warp drive physics for years. He used his passion for work as a tool to keep his mind off his broken marriage. He knew in his heart that faster than light travel was possible, but like his love, it was just out of reach. When a wealthy industrialist and owner of a world-wide aviation conglomerate invited him to join his research team Drath jumped at the chance to chase his dream. He's awestruck by the advanced research center and quickly learns that his theories on light speed travel are all wrong. Their work is light-years ahead of his work and he is eventually told why. They are back-engineering a UFO!
The more he learns about his employer, the less he trusts them. The companies strict security team treats them like kings in a cage, but they are indeed caged. During the experience Drath becomes involved with a co-worker and unexpectedly falls in love. Together they discover criminal activity within the company, and when they are separated, then threatened with blackmail to follow company rules, they push against management and fight to stay together. The conflict builds until they have no choice but to fight!
