Hi Folks!
People have said I have a witty ability to get a point across and I guess that's true. I've entertained audiences with my songs in the US and Europe since the 60’s; sung before the Kennedy family, the Vice-Premier of China and on the Great Wall itself.
Among my credits are five Hollywood-produced musicals, a string of album and CD releases and specialty material on a variety of television shows.
My story-telling style migrated easily from songs to short stories and novels. "Love at the Lumina Pavilion" has joined "Gaston's Last Run" and “The Powder Monkey of Cape Fear" as award winning short stories now part of an anthology you can download here for free. The Songwriter's Hook Book is used by songwriters across the globe.
Looking for a mystery-adventure novel? The Rands Conspiracy is now available.
The Trasaron Chronicles for all you sci-fi lovers is available at cost or free to download. I am interested in your comments.

Print: $15.95 Download: $5.95 The Rands Conspiracy takes the reader on a Bourne-style chase as Josh and his development team run for their lives after creating an “experimental” spyware program for the powerful government funded Rands Group.
Josh Borland was taking unemployment rather well. His sudden termination from the Rands Group was unexpected, but he was vacationing in the sun and the sand with others in the same virtual boat.
In the morning Josh finds himself hung over but alive. In fact, he is the only one still alive.
Josh does his best to gather his friends from Rands in order to unravel the mystery, but more importantly, to keep them alive.
"The Rands Conspiracy is a short, fast-paced and absorbing novel foreshadowing what may well become the experience of citizens worldwide a mere five years down the road." ~ Beverly Eakman, columnist & award-winning author.
