In it, I had a head tumbling down a staircase. I have always had a thing for the rough stuff, at least in fiction.Over the years I continued writing. I have written an epic novel over a thousand pages long about a group of young friends, carrying their lives through their childhood years before the Civil War and then in to the war itself, finally dragging them and their relationships into the following Indian wars in the American West. It's titled The Reach and is now available within Smashwords.But first I published DEFINITIONS (Smashwords and Amazon), followed by the second and third adventurers of the of Kent Baker series. In order of publication they are SCAVENGERS (Amazon), and ENTERTAINMENT (Rocking Horse Publishing and Amazon).A fourth caper, KINFOLK, is in the formatting stage and will soon be released at Smashwords.For more info on theses novels and their availability, along with any other news concerning future releases, please go to my website listed below.That is my story as an author. I sincerely hope you find my novels enjoyable diversions -- (we all need diversions, now don't we?).My own more important story is that I’m a happily married man with a beautiful wife and big family that includes a daughter, a son, five grandchildren, mother, son-in-law, brothers and sisters along with their spouses, and a basket full of nieces and nephews. Life is great.view less
