On to Publish "Lancer"!

Well it's finally packed up and on it's way. The publisher, Cane Hollow Press, has the manuscript for "Lancer; Hero of the West - The Los Angeles Affair," and is formatting it now. My daughter, Julia, is working on the cover and I'm planning the next book. Wow.

Julia and I recently toured the small city of McKinney, Texas, in search of cover material. McKinney has a great old west section and lots of antique stores as well as historical places. The cover we planned needed some unique aspects to it and we went looking for those things to photograph. We found them in an antique mall!

No, I'm not going to describe the cover to you. You'll have to wait until "Lancer; Hero of the West - The Los Angeles Affair" comes out. I think you'll like the news twists Lancer deals with in the Los Angeles area.

The Los Angeles Affair takes Lancer to the bustling and growing metropolis of Los Angeles long before Hollywood came to pass. Most of the story takes place in the northeast San Fernando Valley and the southern Santa Clarita Valley as well as what is now the city of San Fernando. I grew up in this area and know it well enough to make it a personal best.

It is a story of love, family, history and international intrigue. It is probably the most comprehensive of any book this author has written to date. I think you will like it.

The next book after this one? "The Santa Fe Affair."

Stay tuned.
