My Havasu Heroes is now available on Amazon as a book and Kindle. From a decade of writing for River City Newspapers, I've selected 90 of my favorite stories to showcase in this anthology.
Among my favorites are actor Michael Biehn, Mayor Cal Sheehy, Councilman David Lane, Dr. Chad Garrison, and Regional Editor Brandon Bowers who wrote the Foreword. Two editors who read the manuscript said My Havasu Heroes made them want to go to Lake Havasu City. I'm biased, of course, but I think it's a good read. See for yourself.
You may order it by clicking the picture below. Thank you.

At a time when trust in America's elected officials seems to be an an all-time low, Lake Havasu City's Mayor Cal Sheehy received 95% of the vote in his re-election bid. I knew he must have a good story and I wanted to tell it.

Malachi is ten and is pictured here with his mother Debi who bought a copy of my book. Malachi has already written three books. He knows he was born to be a writer and articulately explains a recent project to write from different points of view. Deb encourages him to read 30 minutes per day. However, she doess something else, she has Malachi read to her. He becomes the storyteller. Great idea. I predict that he will be a great writer someday.
