The end of September found me at the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Conference in Denver. I reunited with writing friends, met new ones, learned a lot, and was inducted into the Professional Authors’ League (PAL).

We had a complicated SAR mission on La Plata (see pic above) with a great outcome—but it took an overnight to get ‘er done.

I signed a contract for #5 in the Tyler Zahn series. The novel publishes in December of 2025. Imagine a Black Hawk helicopter crash in the Rockies—titled: Havoc: Trouble on the Trail.

October is a double birthday month for the fam. We’ve hosted enough visitors to fill the living room with air mattresses and sleeping bags. Good thing we got two new cats to dampen the chaos!
