When I was a teenager, I read all the James Bond novels by Ian Fleming and thought that someday I would like to write a novel too. I live in Mesquite, Nevada, and retired in February of 2012. In the first year of my retirement, I read over 100 books. It was through this experience the idea of writing a novel re-emerged.

In November of 2013, I told my wife about the story I wanted to write, and she started laughing, then said that she thought I was being facetious. She is not laughing anymore. In late November, I started the novel, Ghosts, and Gold. In December of 2014, I decided to write the sequel, titled Ghosts and Murder. In the fall of 2015, I wrote the third and final book in the Ghosts series, Ghosts, and Heroes.

In September of 2016, I published The Mechanic, then in February of 2018, I published America Strong. After another pause, I published The Guide in April of 2021 and A New Dawn in December.

I had a lot of fun writing these stories and I hope you will enjoy them. I know my wife, Susan has because she was the editor for all five stories and has read them many times.
