Well, its been a long time, but here I am, back in the saddle, just like erstwhile companions Morgan and his Uncle Naythan. I’m inching forward with the manuscript, and you can see the initial chapters on the new ‘The Restless and the Godless’ page. In the meantime, why not check out the fabulous ‘Unearthed,’ [...]

My homage to Alan Le May’s, The Searchers, as envisioned by John Ford and John Wayne, is evolving.

Naythan is the restless one of the title, newly released from his commission in the [...]
