Guardian Son

Hi friends, Well, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? Apologies for being MIA. Rewrites, travel, visitors, and my lovely daughter graduating from high school… all have kept me busy. I’m pleased to finally announce that next month, my second novel, Guardian Son, will be available on Amazon/Kindle.
