Winter blah vs. summertime stories
March opens with yet more snow, and it got me thinking about all the books I've written. In the Northwoods Trilogy, my characters braved a cold autumn run for freedom north of the border, but I jump ahead about 6 months in the next book such that winter is almost over. Everything else I've written is typically hot, humid summertime tales. I'm wondering if I have thing against winter books, and thinking maybe I should work on a snowbound stories one of these days.
Until then, I'm perfectly happy to think about my newest release. Game Changer is the story of a float trip gone wrong. Perhaps a little like Deliverance...for teens.
That's what Missouri summers are all about. Not Deliverance...but hot, humid days best spent on an inner tube or canoe on some cool Ozark mountain stream. I'm wishing I was there right now, and I'm hoping you'll give the book a chance.
It's the perfect time to read a summer adventure book. Have a look, and thanks a million for your support.

A trilogy comes to an end
Late in 2011, I started planning and eventually writing my first published book, Fugitives from Northwoods. It was a long process, which was interrupted by a summer 2012 trip to the Boundary Waters of northern Minnesota. That canoe trip with my son and other Boy Scouts and dads from his troop helped me really use the scenery to put the finishing touches on the book.
By some miracle, Krill Press bought the rights and brought Fugitives to the market by early 2013. Last year saw the release of book two, Rebellion in Northwoods.
After this year's release of a totally unrelated book, Game Changer, work began in earnest on putting the finishing touches on my trilogy. I'm thrilled to announce that Return to Northwoods is now available in ebook and will be in paperback shortly.
It's been a long process in some ways, and one filled with plenty of learning about the business of writing, as well as about writing itself. I hope you'll take a moment to check out the trilogy. Though I hesitate to talk about pride, I'm proud to say that I believe Return to Northwoods is my finest published work to date.
It's a strange feeling bringing a trilogy to an end. In some ways there's a sense of accomplishment that makes me wistful, and supremely thankful for all the help and kind words I've received over the last few years. My son is now an Eagle Scout, and our canoe trip is but a fond memory. It makes me sort of similarly sad to leave my beloved characters behind, and I hope they'll stay with you in some small way.
As always, thank you for your support.
