The Story Behind BLACK RIVER

 So, this was me back when I first started writing Black River. 


And here is the story behind the making of the story.

I don't share this lightly because I'm sure my criticism of the military industrial complex will offend some people.

The New Goodreads Rival

Meet Book DNA, formerly Shepherd.com, a new place to share your favorite books, meet other readers and authors, and feature your own if you are an author. Book DNA matches readers with books based on individual tastes. If you are frustrated with Goodreads (I personally abhor the recent increase in popup ads), check out Book DNA.

Right now readers can submit their favorite five of 2025. Here's mine.  My list features the best with rural noir tension and environmental conflict, themes my new novel, Black River, shares.

It's fun to share your favorites and easy to find new ones. All ad free!!
