What's New?
I'm very proud of my new book, For Service to Your Country, written with Peter S. Gaytan, director of the American Legion Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation Division. At a time when the VA is overwhelmed with returning soldiers, many suffering grievous injuries, For Service to Your Country provides an insider's guide to navigating the complex and often frustrating Veterans Affairs system. It takes veterans step-by-step through the process of securing the benefits that they have earned through their service. Senator Bob Dole has written the foreword and says, "Our nation's Founding Fathers understood that every American owes a lifetime debt to those who put their own lives in danger to preserve our liberty." It is my privilege to have co-authored For Service to Your Country, available June 2008.

Rollicking Good Read 

Check out the fiction page for a sneak peek of Murder Off The Books, the first Mac Sullivan/Rachel Brenner mystery. It's a roller coaster of a ride that's filled with humor, danger, romance, intrigue, red herrings, and a nail-biting ending that will leave you breathless.

I'm one-half of the fiction team of Evelyn David. We've written sweet short stories and now a full-length mystery novel.

In the Selected Works section of the fiction page, you'll find the first - Pipe Dreams - of the short stories I plan to rotate here on a monthly basis. Click on the title to read the story.

Enjoy.
