Honoring Lives Through Stories

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.

My second novel, "Second Wind, is available on Amazon.com and on Barnes and Noble. It's a military romance/crime novel dedicated to all veterans. I think it's entertaining, a quick read and has a message. You can order it or learn more by clicking on the picture below.

Kingpin and Eli is a crime novel and a mystery that explores the choices people make when facing moral dilemmas and the impact of ambitious rivalry and envy in the workplace. 

"Kingpin and Eli is an enjoyable mystery, with an entertaining web of characters and enough plot twists to keep the reader guessing."

"The Writing Life" presentation at Creative Comrades
Sharon Poppen and I had the priviledge to speak about the writing life and our books at a meeting of the Creative Comrades in Lake Havasu City. Creative Comrades is a community of creative professionals, entrepneurs and businesspeople who get together once a month to share their expertise with each other. At the end of my presentation, I shared 7 tips that would make anyone a better writer.

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.
