A few notes about my novel: How Teddy Roosevelt Slew the last Mighty T-Rex: currently offered at Amazon (Kindle and Hardcopy). Teddy Roosevelt’s last and most harrowing adventure! Still stinging from his recent election loss, former president Theodore Roosevelt sought refuge in the Brazilian jungles in early 1914 on an expedition to trace the last unmapped Amazonian river system, the Rio da Dúvida or The River of Doubt. Co-commanded by famed Brazilian explorer Colonel Candido Rondon and staffed with Roosevelt’s 24-year-old son Kermit, naturalist George Cherrie, and more than a dozen local porters and laborers, the Roosevelt-Rondon Scientific Expedition was plagued by disaster from its very onset—incompetent planning and inadequate outfitting would result in near mutiny, hunger, death, and even cold-blooded murder. But Roosevelt meets an odd stranger along his ill-fated journey, who tells an astonishing tale that could challenge the very core of modern Natural History. Weakened by illness and starvation, Teddy Roosevelt is caught in a web of unfathomable danger, the results of which would alter his life and the lives of his companions forever.

A few notes about my novel: The Yaakmen of Tyrie: currently offered at Amazon (Kindle and Hardcopy) A heroic tale of perseverance, bravery, loss, betrayal, and redemption…The Yaakmen of Tyrie is an epic science fiction adventure like no other, set on a harsh alien world where men's lives span only ten or eleven long years and double moons draw eerie shadows over vast mountainous landscapes laden with horrific natural dangers. Quintar is a natural-born leader of men. Thrust suddenly into politics by the Supreme Yaakleader Carathis, he emerges as the people's reluctant champion following a brutal winter partnering with the giant hairy bipeds bravely defending Tyrie's settlements from an invasion of monstrous snow-creatures. But Quintar realizes his true destiny only after he stumbles upon a wrecked metal structure while hunting in the high mountains. Encouraged by the scholars of Adair and inspired by sketchy reports of uncontacted outsiders living beyond Tyrie's borders, Quintar volunteers to lead a small but colorful group of companions on a harrowing journey into the unknown wilderness on a quest to unravel Tyrie's greatest mystery.
