Many of us are in dire need of relief. We’re like people on a strict diet who occasionally cast aside our discipline and devour a pint of ice cream for the pure pleasure of it. We can’t exist on sorrow alone. Sometimes we search for something good-natured and humorous to lift our spirits and put a smile on our faces.
This is what The Adventures of a Florida Boy is all about. It’s a short and sweet memoir about my childhood growing up on Tampa Bay that won’t challenge your beliefs or try to change your opinions. Rather, I’m hoping it makes you laugh and puts a warm feeling in your stomach. I also hope it revives memories of your own childhood wherever and whenever you grew up. If you’re in the mood for a lighthearted read that will lift your spirits, The Adventures of a Florida Boy fits the bill. It can be read in one or two sittings.
The book is now available for purchase on Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Amazon, Audible, Indigo/Canada, and Booktopia/Australia. It is also being distributed by Ingram Spark to a worldwide audience of bookstores, libraries, and other online stores not listed here. Ebooks are $3.99 and paperbacks are $9.99 in U.S. dollars.
The Death Wizard Chronicles (18 and OLDER)
For a thousand years, none have rivaled the power of Torg, the Death Wizard, as he ruled his people and kept peace on Triken.
Now a new evil has arisen. The sorcerer Invictus is greater even than Torg, and his greed and ambition threaten to engulf the land
in eternal darkness. Torg becomes freedom’s final hope, but first he must die to earn the victory.
Author’s note: The Death Wizard Chronicles is temporarily out of print as of January 2025. However, a revised edition of the series will be published later this year. See image above..
