Periodically, I will update this page to keep fans, friends, and family up to date with what is going on.
Currently, I am developing new websites for both the author (yours truly) and the Grey Goose Press,a website developed to help authors expand their reach to bookstores and schools nationwide.
My mother Alice Johnstone, taught me that it is always best to write two stories at the same time, thereby avoiding writer's block. What she didn't say is that delays can occur when deeply involved in community services like youth sports. I have been literally consumed with youth soccer as of late. I have been coaching the sport on and off for over thirty years and love every minute of it. Soccer keeps me young. Two of my granddaughters play on traveling teams, which pulls me away from my keyboard several hours a week - sometimes for days at a time when they play in tournaments. What can I say, soccer is my favorite sport.. I also support Noblesville High School soccer - Go Millers!
Chesapeake Deception is well underway thanks to help from the Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Northwestern University. I am hoping the manuscript will be finished sometime next year - of course I have been saying that for three years now. Please be patient with me. For those that have read excerpts and provided me feedback, my thanks. The story is really shaping up.
The Dark Wizard, my second young reader's book, is half finished. I expect to complete it before Christmas - assuming my hands do not suffer from frostbite from watching soccer here in chilly Indiana.
