KNOCK is now Mountain Men Camp Fire Stories

Sometimes, you think you’ve got a winner when you come up with a book title. That’ll teach me to be smart! The book KNOCK is now retitled to more accurately present what’s inside, which is a collection of my short stories that have evolved around many camp fires over the years.

So, you won’t find KNOCK available on Amazon, but you will find Mountain Men Camp Fire Stories here!

The New Mountain Men Book

Just hit publish today for my third installment in The Mountain Men Series, called The Mountain Men: The Hangman’s Noose.

NEW! Book 3 of the Mountain Men Series

The first two books in the series have been renamed with new covers.

Book One

To the Far Green Mountains: No Place for Cowards is now The Mountain Men: No Place for Cowards

Book 1 of the Mountain Men Series


Book Two

The Valley of Giants is now The Mountain Men: The Death Wind

Book 2 of the Mountain Men Series

We wanted to make it easier for fans to find the sequels by branding them in a way that is readily identifiable. And here’s some more good news!

Book Four of the Mountain Men Series was finished just this week, so look for it to be published next month!

The Education Book is in Production!

It took over six months, a half a million words pared down to 64 000 words, and a lot of blood, sweat, tears and sleepless night to get this one to the point of publishing. I agonized at times about how to word this tome as truthfully and diplomatically as I could. Time will tell if I’ve succeeded!

Education: Through My Mother’s Eyes has morphed along the way to become Education 1940-2020: Are We in a Crisis? My editor submitted it to Amazon today for publishing and by October 1st, it should be universally available across all of their platforms.
