Ancient City Treasures
Author's Note: After thirty plus world traveling years, the special feeling I have for St. Augustine has not diminished. The excitement and fascination I felt walking her streets as a young boy is still in me, and I hope, in the books I've written with the Old Town as centerpiece. In this book, I wanted to take the reader on a tour from my heart through the town's rich history and mystique. The wonderful turn of the century drawings by E.A. Meyer very much capture the feel of the Old Town I wanted to share, and hopefully my humble poems do as well. May the Ancient City spirit enter you as it has me. Share the wonder!
"Ancient City Treasures" won the 2006 FPA President's Best Book Award, and the 2006 FPA President's Best Cover Award.

Just A Dog and the Musings of His Pet
Murphy's Military Maneuvers, a pure blooded German Shorthaired Pointer, aka Murphy for short was born knowing the meaning of life: eat when food is presented; sleep with you are bored; play with your pet at every opportunity and mark every bush within sight. To Murphy rules were simply guidelines. The only two he followed were: First, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff and Second, Everything Is Small Stuff! Smile, cry, laugh, understand. I intended this book to be only for my sons and their families but was persuaded to share what one reader described as "an inspirational book of discovery for all who have shared life with their special pet". Murphy was and is my best friend.
