Greetings
My books are works of fiction. To spin these yarns, I prefer to draw on the routine folly of the everyday rather than rely on fantastical elements. The characters, their experiences and surroundings remain true to life for their particular moments in time. Creating stories–simple tales to entertain–is a pleasure.

Driver’s Ed A Texas Tale
Shortly after World War II, war widow Lorraine with her young son, Kevin, move from their family’s neighborhood in Chicago to rumored-near-tropical Houston, a move needed for Kevin’s medical treatments. These treatments are revealed to be of longer duration than initially hoped, and Lorraine, out of necessity, looks for employment, finding it in the town’s self-described flagship department store. As Lorraine enters the retail workforce and Kevin enters public school, they must learn to cope with the challenges of their new location, their new routines, plus the ever growing cultural and technical changes of post-war modernity.
