He is the author of Island Dogs, A Caribbean Tale of Friendship, Avis Humphrey, Bella Vita, The Reporter and Saint Martin Kennel Club.  He has also authored four children’s books for his ArtPlayStories series.  In his novels, Simpson uses a unique moving dialogue to develop characters who are flawed, humorous, relatable, and mostly “normal” and he weaves plots with detailed storylines and unexpected twist that his colorful characters are brought to life. His advice to people who read his writing, “Don’t take life too seriously. It will be over before you know it.”

​

Simpson was born and raised in small-town New England where he grew up and spent much of his time outdoors playing sports, enjoying friends, walking the Maine woods, and playing in the river in front of his home. He joined the USAF at 18 and earned two college degrees from CCAF.  He retired in 1992 and is a proud military patriot. After his military career, Simpson spent many years living, working, and traveling in the Caribbean and he feels at home with the peaceful vibe, sun, sea, and warm breezes of the islands. He currently calls Florida his home where he lives with his wife and his dog, Gabriela.

​

Simpson is currently working on his next novel as well as a collection of short stories.
