Welcome to my web site and thank you for joining me, John Bodie, Chief Ortega, Dede and the others in my books. This site was specifically designed with you in mind. I hope you find it easy to navigate with no mysteries like those found in my books. Having enjoyed several careers before finding the vocation of writing, I can think of nothing better than sharing these reality based stories with each of you. Actually there maybe one thing better, but we'll save that for another book. Enjoy the suspense and humor that's infused into these adventures knowing that it is a joy to write them with you in mind. Now, sit back, relax and start enjoying the land of make believe.

I'm grateful for all my new friends and will get around to answering all of you sooner or later. Hang in there!

Well readers, the cover is done and on it's way
to the magic machines that make books. I apologize for the over
design by the untalented and uncooperative children the cheap publisher
utilizes. For some reason I guess the cover I submitted was too
difficult for them to use. I suppose they're not familiar with the
use of copy machines. They decided to stick with their crayons.
They have final approval so please don't
judge the book by it's cover.
Hopefully Liar, Liar House on Fire will be out in time for Christmas.
