Kelly Mack McCoy
Kelly was a truck driver with a lifelong passion to be a writer. He said, “I had it in my heart to become a writer from an early age, yet I never pursued writing as a career. Why? Henry Ford said, ‘Whether you think you can, or think you can’t, you are right.’ I didn’t think I could. Therefore, I didn’t. Growing up, I never thought I’d amount to much at all. I come from a rough background—not a lot of money, not a lot of education. But somehow, the dream lived on.” His books draw from his life experience as a truck driver and a follower of Jesus Christ.
