Anthony Mays was born and raised in Pennsylvania. He went into military service at the age of seventeen and retired after serving twenty years. He subsequently completed his bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Being too young to stop working, he made a second career in the U.S. government, enjoying positions for both the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Veterans Affairs from which he retired again. With his wife, Sherry, he enjoys life with their three children and their significant others, and four blessed grandchildren. They enjoy vacations with the families, but have a special affinity for beaches on the Gulf Coast and Florida. Now, he is excited to begin a third career writing fiction. Halfway to a Southern Heart was his first endeavor of a series he plans to write using the “halfway” theme. He recently completed ‘Halfway to Uncertainty’ and is working on his third novel, “Halfway to the Truth’.
