I enjoyed drawing in grade school, but there were no classes to take. When I turned 60, I decided to teach myself to draw and write books. Check out both below.

My Life

If you could live your life over, knowing what you know now, what would you do different? It is an interesting question, and something everyone at some point in their lives contemplates.
Myself, I would change almost everything. Everything except my bodybuilding experience. I would have gone to different colleges, majored in different subjects, taken different jobs and dated different women.
Bodybuilding opened doors for me, gave me job opportunities, and was more than just "good" to me. It enabled me to meet some of the finest people on this earth, that I could never have met in any other way. I met movie stars, professional athletes and traveled over much of the world. I was adopted into a primitive tribe of people, and even met a king. Even though I was never able to win a National Championship, (Mr. America), I took my body as far as it was genetically possible in the sport. Not everyone can become Mr. America, but it doesn't mean you have failed in life and must turn to dope, become a religious fanatic, or join Hell's An­ gels. I say this because I have seen it actually happen to people in the sport who went down that road. They had spent their whole life in pursuit of the Mr. America title, and always finished close enough to keep them coming back again and again, year after year. Eventually they realized they were never going to win, were approaching late middle-age, and had spent their entire life in a gym.
In conclusion, I think that success in bodybuilding gives you the confidence to succeed in almost everything else you put your mind to. So, if your dream is big enough and you've got the talent and the guts to follow it, you can achieve almost anything.

Now that all my children are raised and the nest is empty, reading has become a passion of mine. Because of that, I'm usually very selective about the books I choose to read. I follow authors who can hold my attention and excitement to the very end of the book. Normally, those books would be full of suspense, romance, adventure, or comedy.
On a recommendation by a good friend, I strayed from my normal reading choices and decided to read a book called Animal-X Werewolf. I must say it was a wonderful decision!! Animal-X Werewolf is a three-book series that has left me wanting more! This series has it all. Adventure, drama, romance, and yes, all with a splash of comedy! After reading the first book, I couldn't wait for books two and three to be published! The artwork added to these books, illustrated by the author himself, was an added bonus. This series is a real page-turner that won't disappoint!!
My only complaint is that book number four hasn't been published yet. I'll be waiting patiently for that to happen!!

I have always been fascinated by the basic primal motivations and needs that drive animals and man. The people and creatures in the Animal-X Trilogy are extraordinary creations rooted in evolutionary biology and current realities that are motivated by these basic drives on a mega scale. Their behaviors reflect society, cultures, religion, politics, life, and struggles to survive and meet our needs. Not the least of which are food, shelter, sex, and power.

These elements are woven together in multiple overlapping storylines with a creativity that surpasses anything I have experienced. However, while as creative as the stories and events are, there is an element of reality that underlies everything that makes you think this is not too far from what has occurred in the history of our world or could still happen. This is especially true considering the events of the last two years, the political battles, and circumstances occurring in Washington, like January 6.

However, what intrigued me was that the different characters and creatures had me thinking I know that person or animal who would have those needs, characteristics, behaviors, or do that. It might be someone at work, school, on a sports team, in your family, a politician, or a public figure. It might be a vicious dog, a wild horse, an evil neighborhood cat, a combative rooster, or wildlife you have encountered.

The storylines weave the characters, creatures, and events together with culture, religion, society, politics, and interpersonal relationships. This is done in a highly creative and imaginative style with results that are often like life as we know it. The results are hilariously funny and had me laughing long and hard. The characters and creatures you loved in previous stories reappear when you least expect them. One story leads into the next one, two or three, in a manner that makes it hard to put the book down. When I finished a book, the first thing I did was call the author and ask him when the next one would be ready to publish. You will be amazed by the creativity, intrigue, and humor in these books and not regret reading them.

The first three books of the Werewolf Supplemental narrate the adventures of Animal-X, the main character. These adventures are laced with humor and frequent factual history that brings credibility to each segment.

It begins with his becoming a Werewolf, which brings with it the knowledge of a portal to other dimensions and times. It is through this portal that he travels in search of the one who caused him to become a werewolf. This search is his main motivation, but he must also prevent any inhabitants of these other dimensions from leaking back through the portal into our dimension. Those that live in these other dimensions have unusual traits that have no natural counterbalance in our world.

Some of these other dimensions loosely resemble mankind's prior history, but the inhabitants are sometimes human, human-like, or not at all. Not all of these environments have anything comparable in our world. Each step in his search brings him in contact with events that necessitate his getting involved with the occupants of each area and their issues. This often requires him to get physical - either in human or wolf form - to survive his quest. He has to strategically plan not only his next move in his current situation but also the long-term consequences for the occupants of the area he is in.

The author creates characters that are very animated and physically powerful. His real-life professional knowledge of animal behaviors, human behaviors, and anatomy provides him with the verbiage to make them believable. Aiding this, the illustrations of his characters allow the reader to have a visual as well as a mental grasp of each character and an appreciation of the capabilities of each.
This is not a slow-moving account that spends pages building up a character or setting. It moves at a trot, builds the characters and setting as it goes, and occasionally revisits them as Animal-X follows leads in his quest.

The only thing I find lacking in this series is that the next book is not yet out!

I highly recommend anyone read these books and get to know Mike Jones through his writings. You won’t find a more inspiring story of hard work, dedication, and tremendous talent. Mike has helped many, many people over the years achieve their goals and improve their lives.

The Animal-X trilogy is an action-packed adventure spanning multiple dimensions. The lead character, Animal-X, is a modern-day superhero combined with a passionate, caring man. His alter ego, a giant werewolf, provides escape from many disastrous situations. Animal-X’s adventurous life is paralleled by a passionate love story with Howlette, another female werewolf. The action and adventure are astounding. One furious battle after the next with the overpowering horde of Beastmen and numerous other aggressors! The body count climbs throughout the entire trilogy ending with Animal-X always the champion.

The author Mike Jones is also a talented illustrator. His characters are fresh and original. I would have loved to have seen more of his amazing artwork in the books.

There has never been anything close to the action, characters, and storyline of the Werewolf Animal-X trilogy.! Every chapter of each book will leave you eager to turn to the next! You will want to go back and read them all again!
