Biography

My first completed/unpublished novel is titled "Die Trying". Patriotic Americans join a militia that seeks to thwart illegal human traffic into Arizona. When they cross paths and gunfire with a drug smuggler, they realize that patriotism is not the weapon to bring to a gun fight when your opponent is determined not to return to jail. Another novel, "Rocky Point", is a tale about a Scottsdale couple who befriend a teenage Mexican artist but the drug cartel that runs his village does not want a spotlight shown on their operation. With the help of the village priest the artist's works find their way into the ritzy galleries of Scottsdale's Fifth Avenue. I joined nothing binding to meet writers with "war stories" about getting a manuscript into an agent's hands.
