Be afraid. Be very afraid. The destruction of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco was only the first attack. These are no ordinary terrorists. They could strike anywhere; any time. Hidden beneath the terrorist’s attacks is something worse, much worse. Someone wants America in chaos; someone wants America ruled by a dictator. How far up does the conspiracy go? Who can be trusted? Kendra Richards and Samantha Euman, owner of Speciality Security Solutions, race against time to rescue the rightful president of the United States and to stop the terrorist attacks on the American people. But can a handful of people protect the American way of life? Can the American public withstand the unpredictable attacks without crumbling into senseless violence? America has never faced such a critical time in history.
Born in a rougher section of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, (and there were several of those areas when I was growing up. I hear they’ve cleaned Pittsburgh up very nicely, now. Haven’t been back in many years.) I soon learned how to make myself invisible. If you tend to be on the smaller side, this is a very good talent. As a result, I got to observe people in their myriad of attitudes and emotions.
They fascinated me.
In self-defense against loneliness, I learned to read very early, and to write. My first story was written in pencil on those tablets for little kids with huge spaces between lines. It was a story about a lost dog. Do you ever forget your first?
Ever since that day, I have been creating alternate realities. Fortunately, my life has been anything except traditional, and therefore, I have never run out of stories to tell.
I lived on the road for several years, was homeless a few times, have worked non-traditional jobs (and a very few traditional jobs), and have walked many dark roads and city streets.
Currently, I live on a 12 acre wildlife/wild bird/indigenous plant habitat that my wife of 25 years and I have created. During a single year, we host over 68 different species of birds, and many different animals.
When I am not either reading or writing, I love to hike, take photographs, work with my dogs, tend the land, horseback ride, travel, learn new things, and recently, I acquired a motorcycle, so I am having a great deal of fun learning to ride.
Whenever I have the opportunity, I also search for the perfect chocolate. There are many good chocolates in the world, but I am convinced that there is a “perfect one”. Have to eat a lot of chocolates while I am researching!
