    About this series

    Sometimes real sanity is found only in a mad house.

    San Francisco, 1879. Georg Vintner, A.K.A the Driver, has returned after two years at sea only to discover that the woman he loves is still confined to a lunatic asylum. Only by rescuing her, can he discover if he wants a life with her. Only then can he learn the truth.

    Wealthy investor, Nathan Foster Casco, must keep that woman locked away. She is Genevieve Sutliff, confessed murderer, and if she gets loose she will interfere with his schemes - or so he believes.

    Driver finds himself deep in the middle of plot and intrigue, trying to unravel Casco's tangled web of lies, save the woman he loves, and gain true justice for Murphy - the slain stagecoach teamster. If he fails, everyone will lose.

    And then there's the matter of the teamster's ghost...

It's up to Driver's wife Genevieve to hunt him down, since the cops seem without clues. With Driver still recovering from wounds, things can only get worse when Robert, the ex cabin boy, is abducted. Where is The Scratch, and what of the shadowy mastermind known only as Mr. Smith?

      Here it is, my newest tale, The Driver. It concerns a streetcar driver by name of Georg Vintner. Georg was born in Norway, came to the U.S. at a young age and went to sea. Somehow he washed ashore in San Francisco in 1877. He has given up the sea and now drives a tram. These days most streetcars are pulled by horses.   Georg's job is not an easy one. He works a 16 hour shift, six days a week. The horses don't have it much better, though they only work four or five hours a day. They last about five years on the job.   That's bad enough, but now a man is murdered on Georg's car, in the middle of a riot. Georg is suspected of the killing, for lack of anyone else to blame it on. Now he finds himself with the job of trying to solve the murder.   I think this book is my first murder mystery, though I'm not sure about that. With most other mysteries, the detective actually solves the crime. Read the tale, and you decide.

    I grew up in San Francisco, joined the Army after high school. That's where I got my most valuable education. Since then I've lived in a few other places, such as Mexico City and New York. Now I inhabit a small town in Northern California, where we have a volcano and a lake. What more could I ask? I have been writing since age 9. What more do you wish to know?
