Mr LD Sledge

About the Author

I am a professional full-time ghostwriter and novelist. My credentials are fifty years’ experience at the craft of putting the just right words in a row to keep the reader reading, learning, and being entertained. I have a diverse background ranging from forty-three years in the trenches as a Louisiana courtroom lawyer, helping those who need help, having tried over 250 jury trials, to 3 years’ experience in the US Army, years living in the New Orleans French Quarter and in the Cajun Country of Louisiana. Add to that growing up as Huckleberry Finn in the country and having worked as common laborer, oiler on a backhoe in the Washington mountains, in sales, mortgages, selling Bibles, retail furniture and general merchandise.

My goal is to reach, touch, entertain, inform, and make your day a little better. I've written books on hiring, anatomy, injuries, how to handle your own case, financial planning, hundreds of short stories and poems.

I just completed a ghostwriting project: "Riches to Rags, How Rich Celebrities and Pro-Athletes Go Broke and How to Avoid It." This is a simple guide on money management, giving all the data anyone needs to know about investing, real estate, budgeting, banking, saving, etc.

Go to my Amazon book page and see my other books:

“Command Influence”: A military court martial thriller I defended and won while serving in JAG, (Judge Advocate General) in the Army;

“Dawn’s Revenge”, a New Orleans thriller, set in the French Quarter and is a page turner with many accolades that I just narrated for ACX and Audible;

“Nimrod’s Peril”, a fantasy set on a huge unexplored planet with sentient, speaking creatures, where a young Wanderer’s companion, a beautiful human size mouse, is kidnapped and he is on a quest to rescue her. It too has many exciting parts and I have many accolades for it as well—a movie script has been written and has inquiries at this time by producers via Inktip, a company promoting it in Hollywood;

“Heirloom”, another New Orleans thriller that has some inquiries about a TV series;

“No Fail Hiring”, a book on how to hire the right employee. Recently wrote over 150 blogs for a Nutraceutical company and a farming equipment company selling an amazingly efficacious machine that doubles crop size and profit.

And another recent completion is a book summarizing my 50 plus years of writing about every form of writing, published on Amazon ”Do You Have a Story that Should be Told? This Book will Help You Write it.” It’s second edition will be out under another and better title, “THE COMPLETE WRITER’S GUIDE, Unlocking the Secrets of Every Genre”, that could be out before Christmas, the Gods willing.

My recent completion is "Cajun Delectables", a cookbook with 100 easy-to-prepare, tasty Cajun recipes woven through 214 pages of the colorful history and lifestyle of the Cajun people of Louisiana. It was a best seller on Amazon during Christmas. Another is "Words in Flight," a 120-page book of my poems written over my 88 years on this earth in a collection of random thoughts in and out of rhyme and time. And I have out a series of journal/notebooks with one of my poems on the first page each with the cover being of one of my colorful paintings -- usually floral.

As I mentioned above regarding “Dawn’s Revenge”, I just completed a 300-page narration that I am counting on being published and available before Christmas.

I live in Clearwater, Florida, on the west coast directly in the gulf. I have had three sons and one daughter, seven grandchildren, and am happily married to Joyce, the wife of my life, who calls me a Southern Gentleman. I am an entertainer, actor, performer, musician, and poet. I am a patriot and believe in the 1st and 2nd amendment. My guns are loaded.
