I’m so glad you stopped by today. You’ll find both my non-fiction books for Seniors and some fun romances for everyone on this page. All are available on Kindle Unlimited and the Senior guides are also available in paperback.
I’ve also written a children’s adventure book set in Arizona: “Javelina Cousins and the Magic Compass”. Read the first chapter free on this site.
Senior and Retirement Guides
Practical, inspiring guides for seniors and retirees including the best-selling ‘Working After Retirement‘. All are in paperback and Kindle Unlimited too.
Romance
Love stories for the seasons of your life from San Francisco in the 1960s to Los Angeles today. Both are on Kindle Unlimited.
Vampire fiction
Not even remotely like your traditional vampires. These will bring a smile to your face. Both are on Kindle Unlimited.
