A couple of years ago I wrote Hidden Falls, a long novel that was available in “episodes” you could download for an e-reader or audible book. I’m pleased to be able to say that the book will soon be available in print as a big fat book of 528 pages. I loved writing this book, […]

And it dawned on me I should let you know that my newest book, Peace Like a River, revolves around Valentine’s Day and little […]
