As he revisits those sun-soaked days of youth, readers are transported into a world of innocence, longing, and the universal ache of first love.

Perfect for anyone who still remembers that first, unforgettable someone.
Denis J LaComb is the published Author of three fiction novels - both with a slant towards the romantic.
The catalyst for Denis to begin writing full time was a decision to wind down his video production business. With the threat of retirement looming in his future, Denis went back to work on a Western novel he'd written forty years earlier. This was his first writing project and hence, a new career was born.
Dissatisfied with a single title such as novelist, screenwriter, or playwright, Denis decided that the most apt description of his work would simply be: Storytelling.
No matter what the genre; novel, play, movie, or children's books, the essence of Denis's work is storytelling in its purest form. While the characters may change and the story may vary, at the core of all of Denis's work is a story to be told. A story that might involve mystery, passion, conflict, or the intricacies of relationships.
There are three other novels currently under development; a second western, a suspense thriller and a sweeping drama about relationships, which will also be published in the near future.
Denis and his wife, Sharon, divide their time between Minnesota and Southern California with long layovers in Colorado where three of their grandchildren live.
