Today i completed my new young adult novel " Enigma" My main critic said

"Very very good, the story has everything" I'm looking forward to some Hawaiian sun, and to leave the snow behind.

I shall be offline for a couple of weeks, for when i go away i leave the world of electronics behind and write poetry with an old fashioned pencil.

When i return i shall introduce you to another of my books. Aloha

Hello cyber world! 24 Hours in Hell is one of my books of short stories.

It contains 32 different works including murder, humour, crime, romance, and an account of the massive earthquake and tsunammi  expected to visit the West Coast.

The title refers not to the religious version of hell, but the 24 hours endured by a US soldier lost and alone in the Iraqi desert.

I attended a writers group last night and read from my work in progress novel, ENIGMA. The group desired to hear more than the alotted two pages.

I have five more sleeps before flying to the magic islands of Hawaii. While there i shall sharpen my poetry pencil.

This is my first published novel. (I Never Saw My Father Smile)

The story came to me in a dream, so vivid, that I got out of bed and wrote down the bones of the story.

 It has sold out both printings. I have re-worked and re edited the story, and will be available as an electronic book within the next few weeks. It will become available from http://a2zbooks.ca

 A number of people have told me the work is so powerful it should be made into a movie.

A psychologist told me the transformation from sane to insane is classic.
