Then he wrote "Nobody Knows Me," A true family story about his own brother who died of Hemophilia at the age of thirteen. he followed this up with, "Beyond The Blue," a tale of space travel in the twenty second century.

Now in, "Campfire Tales," he once again is writing about the American west. Southern Utah and the Salmon river county of Idaho.
