I enjoy writing novels based on my assignment locations as an Air Force officer. For example, my visit to ruins of the ancient city of Troy while stationed in Turkey inspired me with many plot ideas to write ancient backgrounds combined with modern scenes. My trilogy, the three Atlantis books, use historical references to create current-day excitement and adventure. The now chase is on, but something from Atlantis caused it.

As a retired military officer, and a concerned American, my greatest fear is that a dangerous movement is underway to destroy the values and ideals of our great country, the United States of America. Today, too many people vilify America and show no regard for the basis of our religious beliefs. Even our top leaders apologize for the success of America, and suggest that those who try to succeed are greedy and deny the less fortunate their fair share of America’s success.

We are rapidly being persuaded that to strive for personal success is un-American. Many who refuse to become educated and productive expect those who succeed to redistribute more of their hard-earned rewards to them for free. Too many politicians are taking advantage of these unearned demands to buy votes from those who contribute nothing to society.

The purpose for two of my new books are to counter this dangerous movement. My novel, America 20XX: The New World Order, shows what might happen if we stray too far from our original idealism and patriotism. My new education book, American Heroes: Students Who Learn, is aimed at encouraging students to realize that it’s okay and necessary to be successful and patriotic. For our country to survive and prosper, they must learn enough to make that happen.

My other novel, Shades of Retribution, demonstrates that even in our differences, some extreme, we are still one country, one people, who share common problems and ideals. Some refer to it as a healing story.

Most of my books, those without internal graphics, are also available in Kindle and Nook format for immediate download.
