You Speak For Me Now
 

A captivating, thought-provoking emotional rollercoaster that delves into major society issues facing Americans and much of the rest of the world.

And it explores how an extrovert and a introvert find a compatible life together? Their needs and pleasure sources are so different, yet together they can accomplish great things. Here, a musically gifted extroverted man and deaf, introverted woman do just that. But it embroils them in a life-threatening battle for personal and national survival.

This engaging page turner, at times heart-wrenching, at times heart-filling, lights a path to a brighter future for society today.

A book club treasure that sparks discussion well beyond the last page.


Life Shattered

Can a gifted teenager overcome high school bullying? Can a teenage love persevere through separation and tragic events?

Evoking a wide range of emotions, even heart-wrenching at times, Delbert and Sylvia will have you pulling for them to the very end. And along the way, see life on a small Canadian island in the 1950’s and gain a semi-historical view of the Avro Arrow program.


Life Rescued

Join Delbert and Sylvia again as they search for a new mission in life. You will be embroiled in struggles against teenage drug addiction and drug running in Pacific Northwest waters in the 1960’s.

Conflict between morality and disturbing immorality threatens their lives.


Life Threatened

Cynthia joins Delbert and Sylvia as she graduates from medical school. With Delbert's increasing independence, Sylvia has become a public health nurse serving the west side of Vancouver Island and on up the coast. Delbert is her air taxi. Sound tranquil? Not a chance with the life and death challenges they face.


Murder On Salt Spring

How can there be serious crime on this small island? Too hard to escape with only a ferry and besides, everyone knows everyone else. Gossip makes secrets common knowledge in minutes.

Yet, Carl Jenson is found in bed with a knife sticking out of his chest. Big city detective Mattie Carlyle is sent out to help laid back Cal Lockhart investigate the murder.

Can their conflicting styles find common ground? Knocking heads one moment, strongly attracted the next, will either prevail? And can you help them find the killer?


The Pizza Dough King

A heart-warming story of enduring love.

Live a life of emotional highs and lows with Dino Parelli through his own words and thoughts. His outlook, beliefs and demeanor change as he faces the trials in his path.


A Quiet Rampage

Here's an easy reading and entertaining account of what I've done so far, with an insight into what makes me tick.

I plan to update it every few years since there's so much left to do, which will probably never end until I do. This update is at age 86.

Six novels which will leave you glassy-eyed if not in tears at times, yet, in the end with a warm heart. Adventure, tragedy, character testing, emotion and enduring love abound. My writing style emphasizes dialog designed to entice you into the story, living alongside the main characters. For more on that, watch My Story in the Video above.

If you find a story merits recommendation to others, please mention it to them. And a posted review, however brief, will endear you to me eternally. I don't actively market my books so new readers find them by word of mouth...your mouth?

Thank you, my friends.
