My recently published novel, A DRUMBEAT TOO NEAR, is historical fiction. It's set on Cape Cod, the Atlantic on a German U-boat and inoccupied France during WW II. It characterizes three teenagers growing up on Cape Cod while the atmosphere of war abounds. German U-boats lurk off-shore. One is under the command of Karl Heineke who is not enamored by the Nazi regime, but determined to do his duty  and get his crew through the war unscathed. His U-432 launches two saboteurs on the shore of Cape Cod. One teenager on beach patrol confronts them and ids placed in dire danger.

Engineering background. When I retired from that career I started a Golf product export business. My book, THE FEATHERY, came about when I was consigned a group of golf antiques and memorabilia. Included there-in was a Feathery golf ball, circa; St. Andrews, Scotland 1849. I didn't sell the antiques, but wrote a book of fiction centered around an obsession to own the famous ball so strong that murder and mayhem result.

I grew up in a small town and my first novel, A DEADLY CLASS REUNION, Tells of vengeance brought forth by a member of the class to his classmates who teased, bullied and tormented him. He blows up the restaurant where the reunion is held and that's not all.
