The Companion is a true story and is followed by 24 other stories. Several brought letters of praise, one brought death threats, and some brought suggestions that I see a psychiatrist. They're followed by excerpts from 2 of my books. Blue Water Adventure is based on a true story: 450 pages with 50 pictures. The McKannahs is a historical western novel with 8 illustrations, and has been praised by many who have read it, as: "The best historical western novel in a long time." It begins in 18th century Ireland and then moves to 19th century California and beyond. The reader will see the Irish and Mexicans as they truly were--hard working pioneers.
