    Michael Carter

    My hometown is Jacksonville, Alabama I currently live in Lagrange , Ga . I'm married to my beautiful and wonderful wife Rebecca Carter and I have 5 children they are the center of my world . I'm an avid Hunter and fisherman and love being in the outdoors . I grew up simple and not having much but I never went without . Like many of you, those hard times coming up shaped my life and I am thankful everyday for the lessons learned along the way! Writing and publishing books has always been a desire of mine and this age of technology has made it much more attainable with the introduction of ebooks. I was born on October 5, 1978 , I also love college football and of course being from Alabama I am a diehard Alabama fan! Being raised in the south also makes me a Nascar fan.
