COMMENTS FROM THE AUTHOR:

"In every truth there is non-truth and in every fiction, there is non-fiction.” ~Thomas H. Ward

"READING ONE OF MY STORIES IS LIKE GOING TO THE MOVIES. READ ONE OF MY BOOKS and BE TRANSPORTED INTO ANOTHER TIME AND PLACE. Places like South Korea, Japan, Florida, Hong Kong, China, Germany, Singapore, Italy, and many others used in my books. The locations in my stories are real places where I have lived or traveled too. These are stories that will provide you the action, adventure, and excitement that you are seeking. Some of the characters in my books are actual people I meant during my travels to 13 countries. Most of my stories are based on historical facts that I have woven into a fictional story that you will enjoy. READ ONE OF MY 28 PUBLISHED BOOKS TODAY and GO TO THE MOVIES. DON'T FORGET THE POPCORN."
