– A REVIEW FROM A SPARROW SINGS FOR US ALL
WHEN SOMEONE YOU KNOW BECOMES SOMEONE YOU DON’T
A SPARROW SINGS FOR US ALL
Three friends begin on familiar ground. Their lives do not stay there. A Sparrow Sings for Us All follows the people caught inside a changing social landscape shaped by high-potency cannabis, guns, mental illness, friendship, family, and loss.
Rather than approaching those issues from a distance, the novel tells their story through the people living with the consequences.
BEYOND THE COCKPIT
THE ROCK NOVELS
The Rock novels follow Navy pilots through a world defined by discipline, danger, camaraderie, and the irresistible pull of life beyond the rules
West Of The Rock
Book 1
In West of the Rock, the exhilaration of flying is inseparable from its risks. Pilots face unforgiving carrier landings, long deployments, strained relationships, lost friends, and questions about the beliefs that once drove them.
In East of the Rock, the story moves overseas, where dangerous exercises and Mediterranean port calls open the door to a different kind of freedom. For JD, one rule remains clear: don’t fall in love.
Then he meets Juliette.
East Of The Rock
Book 2
Respectable Reviews
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
THESE NOVELS DRAW FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE WHILE EXPLORING VERY DIFFERENT WORLDS, FROM NAVY FIGHTER AVIATION AND MEDITERRANEAN ADVENTURE TO CONTEMPORARY ISSUES AFFECTING FAMILIES AND YOUNG PEOPLE ACROSS AMERICA.
