Dear Reader…
Is it better to take the risk and pursue the glory of fame
and fortune, or to live a simpler, more grounded life? That is the question
posed in my new novel, Panicles. While the story does not answer that
question – it is up to each of us to decide for ourselves – it does present
very relatable circumstances in which characters must make that choice, as well
the consequences of their choices.
Most of us have been in circumstances where we must choose
whether or not to take those risks. To stand on top of the hills and expose
ourselves to the consequences, or to stand aside and let another take the risk.
To run for office, chair that committee, speak up at the meeting, or stand in
front of that tank in Tiananmen Square. Have those times
resulted in fame, fortune, and happiness, or pain and misery. Both, neither?
In Panicles, you will
follow the fates of two families, one wealthy and powerful, the other blue
collar, from a chance meeting at a Florida poolside, to the highest levels of politics and power.
This saga of love, war, money, and power leaves each family weighing their duty
to their family versus service to their country.
It all leads to a fateful
choice--a sacrifice--which could change the course of history.
This book was written with
love, and I hope you will receive it that way. If it gives you a few short
moments of happiness and escape, and makes you think about the choices you have
made or how to approach those coming your way, then I will have accomplished my
goals.
Thank you to all of you who
have been so kind with your reviews and encouragement, and please give me any feedback

With love and kindness,
