What do you call an author with one book? An Author. What do you call an author with two books? Crazy. What do you call an author with three four books? Persistent.
Welcome! Completed The Connection in early 2020. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it. It’s the first story I wrote, but it sat on my computer while I published three other books first. So it’s special…and good.
Don’t forget to try out The Five O’clock Follies…a collaboration I did with a Vietnam Vet. See this blog post. Of course you can still read The Redemption and The Switch.
New! Both ebook and print versions available. Get both here…
Not much happens in the small West Texas town of Dinley, and radio DJ Sandy McAllister is fine with that. Following the tragic loss of her husband and son, she’s carved out a steady, solitary existence. No more deep friendships, no more love, no more loss.
But a loud boom on the outskirts of town followed by the sudden appearance of a drifter is about to upset Sandy’s carefully scripted life. His mysterious arrival on a warm summer evening coincides with the eruption of addictive and powerful feelings she cannot control or deny. And she’s not the only one.
The bond, the connection, with this stranger threatens to flip her life upside down and polarize the town.
And it’s not the first time this has happened in Dinley…
Award-winning tale!
“The Five O’clock Follies does for Vietnam what MASH did for Korea.”-Lucian Truscott IV, NYT Bestselling Author
It’s an irreverent, rollicking mix of comedy, tragedy, duty, and honor in an original concept framed by America’s first televised war.
Follow three Army officers thrown together who try their best to find purpose and hilarity, facing everything from jungle terrors to humor in the war zone. It is a powerful story of enduring friendships, filled with issues of morality and the tragedy of war that will cause readers to remember, laugh, and cry at the same time.
Come along for a “first” look at Vietnam in a different light, an unforgettable journey.
Macy Thompson is a highly successful executive and the owner of a multi-million-dollar Texas estate. She’s also divorced, alone, and in therapy. The barometer of her success and failure is her childhood best friend—the seductive, popular, and carefree Nikki Owen. But Macy has been comparing herself to a ghost. No one has seen Nikki in twenty-five years. Until now…
She’s back as the prosperous co-owner of a resort in the Idaho wilderness, a status Macy cannot accept. Their reunion leads to an impulsive wager. Switch places—prove who is the real success.
The bet unravels quickly. Nikki is not the Nikki of old. And a dead body in the mountains, an unforgiving apparition from Macy’s past, and the peculiar staff at the resort challenge Macy’s shot at besting her old friend. Macy must win, but at what cost?
Emotional and edgy with a few twists, The Switch will make you wonder who is in control of your life…
