Hello and Welcome to my website. Thank you for joining me.

In addition to the books that I have been working on, I will be participating once again at "Book 'Em NC" which is held in Lumberton, NC. This year instead of a spring book fair, it is being held in the fall, on Saturday, September 14, 2019. It is an all-day book fair held on the Robeson County Community College campus and will feature many local, as well as regional, authors - including me.
You will have the opportunity to meet the authors and talk to them about their books, in addition to purchasing signed copies.
Book 'Em NC is free and open to the public and will be going on all day.

I've been focused this past year on Bravo, my 7 1/2 year old Ently ("lesser Swiss mountain dog"), who was diagnosed with kidney disease in January of last year. He was given less than a year to survive, but made it until March 3 of this year, through love and prayer, and his will to survive. Fortunately, he lived all but the last week or two in good spirits and happy. His strength and good disposition helped keep him playful and happy. During the last week he became dehydrated and lost his apetite, which fluid injections helped to turn around. Four days before he passed he went blind and his health quickly slipped away. One blessing is that he crossed the "rainbow bridge" quickly and quietly at home and in our arms.
Bravo will be always remembered and always missed.
On another note, I am ready now (a month later) to get back to finishing both The Umbrella and Blood Moon Murders for summer publication. I hope to then resume work on two other projects: finishing the musical I began last year, and shopping out the two plays, "Husbands-in-Law" and "Life Behind the Razorwire" (the latter written by Larry Stromberg).
A lot to accomplish and quite an ambitious agenda, but do-able and always fun to dive into. I promise to keep you apprised of my progress - right here on this page. In the meantime, please fill me in on what you are up to and pretty much anything related to writing that you would like to share.
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my website and reading my books - especially for purchasing them (paperback or ebook).
