Did you know I’m an author? I love history, but my bookshelves are full of great novels and military non-fiction that I can’t let my kids read. My books are different. If you know someone who loves military action you’ll enjoy my modern war series: Beyond the Golden Hour, The Stars and Their Places, Pegasus, and the upcoming fourth book in the series, Those Who Face Death. Get them here, or online wherever books are sold.
