His books are about the lives, loves, challenges, and triumphs of a wide variety of people from all walks of life, which will keep the reader turning the pages and pondering the vagaries of life. His four and five-star-rated novels are clean, uplifting, and written for readers who enjoy memorable characters, meaningful stories, and satisfying endings. O. L. and his wife, JoAnn, now enjoy retirement in Mesa, Arizona,
