Born in Metairie, Louisiana, but raised in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, Mr. Cole discovered his passion for writing after his youngest son was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). His older son's inquisitive nature sparked the idea for Jonah's Spectacular Sounds, Mr. Cole's debut children's book.
Through this heartwarming story, Mr. Cole hopes to provide a window into the world of ASD for young readers, enabling them to better understand and empathize with peers on the autism spectrum. His goal is to foster acceptance, inclusion, and celebrate the unique perspectives that those with ASD bring to our world. When not writing, Mr. Cole enjoys spending quality time with his wife and two sons in their hometown in the DFW metroplex. The Coles take pride in being active members of their local community and ardent supporters of autism awareness initiatives. |
