Fiction
My first novel came out in the fall of 2006. A Father's Footsteps tells the story of a computer account executive who discovers a new love for golf while on a company outing in Myrtle Beach. Along the way he finds something even more important...himself. Click on the picture for more info about the book, a free copy of the first chapter, and a link to order your own copy.
