"Using historical setting and persons as more than background, the author creates an exciting story. It is such great fun to spend time with historical giants of the period and share in their fictional escapades...A must read"
"I came by this book by accident. What a lovely accident...I felt as if I were in Paris in 1889...I learned some things and I appreciate it. I really enjoyed this book."

BIO

I've been a fan of classic science fiction for over 50 years. Growing up, my favorite authors were Heinlein, Clarke and Asimov because they explored the reality of the future. Either it's going to be a continuation of our failed past or an opportunity to move beyond the bounds of Earth to a new era of exploration and discovery.
The theme that drives all my books is imagination,
something we seem to have lost that we once had and hopefully will regain again.
My latest novel,
1889,Paris and the Universal Exposition is based on
the detective genre as my first exposure to reading was Sherlock Holmes stories. This book harkens back to those and introduces photographer, Eustace Wyatt and his journalist friend, Lloyd Kane the year of 1889 in the world's greatest city, Paris. Join them in adventure, discovery and
Intrigue.
I write from my home in Vero Beach, Florida where my wife and I retired after a long career in service to the Navy. We still watch every launch from KSC and wonder why we have yet to face our future.
