But Mike Banner encounters obtacles and dangers of overwelming odds, and he must fight them and find away to survive.

Hey Linda - I finally finished and published my second book "A Pitcher To Remember" in January. Now I'm working on the sequel to my first book and at the same time I'm working on the third book. The stories just keep coming so I'm putting them on paper while I can.

So continue to put your words down while they are flowing freely and still fresh in thought.And before you know it your book is completed.Good luck.
