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.

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!

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.

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.
