Available now: Off-Road
Off-Road is the first in the Film Crew series. Next up will be Surfrider. Each book will be a short read. A fun adventure that I hope will spark enthusiasm for reading. Inspiration for this model comes in part from author James Patterson’s BookShots series. Easy reads to spark interest in books.
My Fiction
A Twin Long Gone
Cabe Wray drove home from the airport after walking away from his job and career. On the drive his smile grew wider with each mile. Time to right his life. He will reinvest himself in the search for his long-lost twin sister Gail.
Now 61, Wray prided himself on his accomplishments. Most of them, anyway. Selling technology products came naturally to him. Finding his sister was another matter.
After years of fruitless effort searching for Gail, Wray takes the advice of a friend and hires Arturo Fonseca, a film director, and Kelsey Graf, an actor, to create an Internet video that may help Wray find Gail.
Fonseca brings passion to the project – a passion bordering on blind drive. And Graf immerses herself so deeply she almost becomes the woman they search for.
What Wray does not anticipate – how the filmmaking will tear his heart open… and reveal his own role in Gail’s disappearance.
