About

Imagination is an all encompassing experience.  It happens in the now and repeats itself over time.  The mind never stops inventing and reinventing.  I always ask why this or how do things work or what would happen if?  All of these questions generate the answers that you will find in my various books.  I live just up the road from Poche Beach in San Clemente Ca.  The ocean and the expansive western skies give rise to flights of fancy that I welcome with open arms.  The inspirations gained therein are imperative for all of these expressions that must flow from that feeling of an overflowing heart.

Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">First, he led his own uprising. Then he captured a forsaken king. Henry had no intention of taking the crown for himself; it was given to him by popular acclaim. Alas, it didn't take long to realize that that having the kingship was much less rewarding than striving for it. Only three months after his coronation, Henry IV had to face a rebellion led by Richard's disgruntled favorites. Repressive measures led to more discontent. His own supporters turned against him, demanding more than he could give. The haughty Percies precipitated the Battle of Shrewsbury which nearly cost him the throne—and his life.</span><br style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;" /><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">To make matters worse, even after Richard II's funeral, the deposed monarch was rumored to be in Scotland, planning his return. The king just wouldn't stay down and malcontents wanted him back.</span></p>

Story Behind The Book

Didn't you ever listen to the news or read about the oil prices going up and down and felt helpless to do anything about it? Did you ever wonder if there were any other way out of this oil situation that not only fuels our energy needs but also is the backdrop for the politics between nations as everyone struggles for resources? One night I dreamed up a design for free energy and six months later began writing Reach For The Sky. Halfway through I read about Nikola Tesla and realized that he already had a design that was ridiculed back in the 1930s even though he proved the concept. I decided then to incorporate briefly the incident in my story where my protagonist Mike Miller discovers Tesla's lost notebooks. There must be a reason why this never saw the light of day. My novel explores those reasons with explosive conclusions and a story that is non stop entertaining.
