College and Eastern College in Baltimore, Maryland. I have written for the Colorado Springs newspaper and for Cowboy magazine. But I have never taken
the time to write a book.
The political economics of the United States have always interested me so much that I ran for U.S. Congress in 1956. Having followed the nations
political events closely since the thirties and serving in WWII, I have developed a political economic philosophy that allows me to perceive the
patterns and predict coming trends much of the time.
But instead of writing a boring treatise I decided to write a realistic piece of fiction that through the eyes and experience of the common man would
reflect the flaws in the behavior of the political and cultural leaders.
Having been born and raised on a ranch without electricity or running water, I can relate to pioneers who farmed with horses and oxen. In addition, my
extended family consisted of many old-timers, including my great grandfather, born in 1836. As a child, their stories and experiences filled many a
long winter evening.
I have written three novels, each covering two generations of the Carter family, over a 100 year period. This is the first book "The Land of Promise".
The other two are forthcoming.
I am only able to write in the winter months as I live and work in Washington State, where I raise sheep and chickens and help my wife in her Nursery
business. I have returned to my origins and can reflect on the future course of America for my third novel that ends in 2056. However, we do have
electricity and running water.view less
