My wife and I are celebrating our new arrival! Rachel was born this past week, our first child. She is having to spend some time at the hospital to fight an infection, but we hope to have her home in a few days.
I am still waiting for my other arrival, Silverton Gold which is at the publishers right now. It should be another month or so.

Silverton Gold
Saturday, March 20th, 2010My 3rd book, Silverton Gold, is almost complete! One more chapter to go and then some editing work.
Gold is disappearing off a moving train and no one can figure out why. A Pinkerton Detective is called in to work the case. Follow him on an incredible journey along the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad and in the railroad towns of Chama, NM and Durango, CO before landing in the center of the action in Silverton. The detective must follow the clues to track down the bandits, deal with his insecurity with women, and survive the wild west adventures in the Jewel of the San Juans before taking down the gang of outlaws in a heart pounding adventure on the train.
Look for Silverton Gold…summer 2010!

Book Review
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009By Midwest Book Review
October 8th, 2009
When your nemesis is the entire Union, a taste for revenge is insatiable. “The Preacher” is a classic western story following a U.S. Marshal by the name of Jake Silver as he has to stop an assassin and his network of criminals from compromising the already chaotic old west. “The Preacher” is a simply entertaining read that should not be missed by western fans.
My next project
Thursday, October 15th, 2009I am hard at work writing my next book. All my research is done, and I’m through the third chapter already. The book will be an exciting look at the lives of gold miners in and around Silverton, Colorado, and the outlaws who would rather steal gold than dig it out of the ground for themselves. Look for it early in 2010.
New Book!
Saturday, August 8th, 2009THE PREACHER is an exciting story that follows an assassin bent on revenge after the death of his parents by Union forces. Trained to kill by none other than ‘Bloody Bill’ Anderson, the assassin is terrorizing the West. Deputy U.S. Marshal Jake Silver must hunt him down and bring him to justice before he kills again, and round up an entire network of criminal activity.
