Return to Underland
Finished! Yup, I completed the writing, editing and all around going-over of my first children's adventure book RETURN TO UNDERLAND. The book is off to the formatter as I write this. It should be released near the end of this month. Anxiously looking forward to how it will be received. The story revolves around two young friends who discover a huge cave where all the extinct animals of the world still exist. Did someone say dinosaurs!? Whoa...
Check out the cover on my fb page under book covers. Thx.

Smilodon Excerpt!
The bull elk grazed sanguinely along the edge of the clearing, keeping upwind of the thick copse of loblolly pines and rocky ridgeline. For most of the year a gregarious species, in another three months, this second-largest member of the family cervidae, exceeded in size only by the moose, would be transformed from a gently plodding giant into an aggressive androgen-crazed brute capable of inflicting severe harm with its four-foot tined antlers.
For now, though, the male elk was content to feed on grasses, twigs, bark, and freshly sprouted shoots.
The predator struck quickly, springing from the top of a craggy boulder, landing flush on the back of the thousand-pound mammal. With two lightning-fast thrusts, the cat sank its double scimitar-like canines deep into the bull’s thick neck, lacerating arteries, muscles, and nerves. Geysers of blood spewed from the wounds and in less than fifteen seconds the gangly giant was reduced to a quivering lifeless carcass.
The carnivore tore into the warm fleshy part of the dead elk, pulling and tugging at the soft meat. Prying his imposing snout into the still steaming viscera, he sheared off entire organs in massive chunks. Once his famished appetite was satisfied, the big cat limped back to the cover of the ridgeline.
What happens when the giant cat encounters prey that carry high powered rifles and hunt in four wheel drive vehicles?
Read Smilodon and see how the battle plays out!
