WELCOME

Welcome to my website.

Here, you can get a look at my books, all based on history, and peruse some of the many paintings I have been doing as part of my visual and written journal.

Painting and writing are extensions of my professional career as a Journalist and a way of sharing the experiences with you.

Kansas Blood and Ink--historical fiction, follows Jesse Hendren, a young reporter through the events of "Bleeding Kansas" and then his escape to Texas in the sequel, "The Tascosa Kid."

My latest book;  The story of Naiche, the son of Cochise and the last hereditary chief of the Chiricahua Apaches.

ChattoWins Again

Chatto's Promise is the award-winning non-fiction story of the Apache warrior- turned army scout,  who rode with Cochise and Geronimo.   He led one of the most infamous raids in Arizona history, but spent much of his adult life as a prisoner of war.

"Fights Without Arrows"  Maybe his name meant he always had a gun in his hand.  He rode with Victorio, the magnificent chieftain and ultimate tactician.  Prison changed his life, but not his heart.

Uncle Sarge's Book

The story about my Uncle Sarge and his exploits in Patton's Third Army is selling at Amazon.com and there are Kindle and Audio versions available.

I'm glad it came out and he was able to read it before he died,  just two weeks prior to his 93rd birthday.  As I said in the book, we're losing almost 1000 of these WWII veterans every week and their ranks are thinning fast.  

Their stories are lost forever.  But his isn't
