Having earned my doctorate in 1992 from the University of Southern Mississippi, I have been an English professor for more than 40 years and am now semiretired, teaching only as an adjunct of online graduate courses for Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, who has been my employer since 2003. I now teach mostly graduate-level courses in English literature, but over the years I have taught hundreds of writing classes. To date I have published 78 scholarly books and over 500 articles/chapters, primarily in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century English literature, but am now focused on publishing my Christian fiction and nonfiction. I also teach a Bible study and sing on the choir at Bethlehem Church in Dallastown, PA.
