Graduating from High School two friends, one male and one female, face life in the late 1960s. While Susan rushes forward moving to New York City, embracing the world eagerly, Dan, indecisive and unsure of himself, stays in their hometown where he sullenly muddles his way forward with no plan. The paths they head down outwardly appear completely divergent, but in reality, there is a strangely vague parallel to them. The difference is within themselves and how they react to the events in their lives. The two separately make their ways through that socially turbulent time, never noticing how each decision they make affects the courses that their lives take in an era of Vietnam, “sex, drugs, rock and roll”’ and “tune in, turn on, drop out”. Neither one seems to be able to recognize the opportunities to change their direction when they see them as they head towards the climactic moments of their lives. $0.99 on Kindle.

Wyandotte Bound
Wyandotte Bound chronicles a 25-year struggle for power, wealth, passionate love, and a more meaningful way of life, pitting the town’s dominant family against a deranged and violently corrupt rival during the fading years of the Western Frontier.
Bound, like many other strong words, finds its meaning in the perceptions of those it affects. To the Van Sheltons, it is positive and deep-rooted, defining their ties to a vast amount of land abundant in the timber, cattle, and silver that make them the wealthiest and the most powerful family in Wyandotte and influential throughout Nevada.
To J.D. Rohr, who has no money and few prospects, bound is a hopeful force, driving him to Wyandotte, where he assumes the identity of Jesse Bodine in a desperate attempt to live in obscurity, hiding from his reputation as one of the West’s most feared gunfighters.
For Dr. Frederick Albert Carlisle, an aristocratic Boston physician who becomes Jesse’s friend despite their romantic rivalry, bound is a magnetic lure that compels him to abandon his Beacon Hill mansion, his upper-class privileges, and his affluent patients in a quest to give meaning to his life by serving poor westerners sorely in need of his healing knowledge.
As for Honoria Lowell Blaire and Lillian Tomlinson Wellesley, blue-blooded descendants of New England’s oldest and most distinguished families, bound represents the chains that will bind them to “a God-forsaken wilderness” if they choose to live with the men they love instead of clinging to their pampered lives among America’s nobility.
And for the incomparably beautiful Jolene Lloyd, being bound is like virtual imprisonment when she is coerced into saving her family from financial catastrophe by being shackled to a ruthless, emasculated tyrant driven by hatred and bitterness to take control of Wyandotte and force the mighty Van Sheltons to grovel at his feet.
These and the other men and women of Wyandotte, the good and the bad, battle for a quarter of a century to determine their region’s fate during the fading years of the Western Frontier. $6.99 on Kindle.
The Hanging
An innocent woman fearing for her life.
Six mismatched lawmen trying to prevent crime.
The beginning of an unusual family…or an end for them all?
After his wife and children were murdered, all that Kris Jensen wanted was to die and join them. Saved by a sacrificed friendship, he travels from one Territory town to another with a tin star on his black duster, restless, intervening when needed and then quickly moving on…until the town of Mimosa asks him to stay as their Marshal. And he says yes, though he doesn’t know why.
Maybe it’s the five misfits who stood by his side when he needed them most, risked their lives to help him save an innocent man from a lynching. Maybe it’s the pretty widow with the eyes like a dove. Maybe he’s starting to care.
And maybe they’re all going to die, for the cattle baron William Cahill isn’t going to forgive Judge Evan Davis for sentencing Cahill’s nephew Carlton to hang. Judge Davis is going to suffer, and so is his widowed daughter-in-law, Holly. The six misfit lawmen? He doesn’t care for the law. He does what he wants. And he wants them all dead.
