NEW BOOK RELEASE:
The Search for Charley Hudson
When Covid eliminates Alex Grant’s college graduation, his grandfather Henry has too much time on his hands. He tries to stay out of trouble while his wife Carolyn convalesces from Covid but he is soon dragged onto the hunt for a mass murderer. His cousin Shelley, a retired hitman, is there to cover his back while Shelley’s wife Marian demonstrates how best to hold off policemen and keep Charley busy. Charley is the only witness to the slaughter of his friends and the key to nabbing Mr. Rogers before the banker can leave town. There is plenty of action to keep the cousins busy even when they stop speaking.

The love of reading and writing, for me, started as a child. My dad would read to me as a young boy. As I grew older, I also developed a passion for history. I remember reading Richard Harding Davis (a famous war journalist) and thinking “I wish I could write like him,” his talent is truly amazing.
