Born Under A Lucky Moon
The novel Born Under A Lucky Moon, while fictional, is based on real life events in my life. The story that takes place in 1986 is largely true. It noodled around in my head for decades until I knew I had to write it down just to stop thinking about it. I did compress some events to fit into a specific time frame.

“Born Under a Lucky Moon hit bookshelves last Tuesday and would make for an excellent Valentine’s Day gift for a special girl in your life. It’s just one of those feel good stories that it’s fun to cuddle up next to the fire and read until you fall asleep. It’s refreshing when you can find a book that can just make you smile, and that’s exactly what this novel does.”
Another nice review, this one from Fanbolt’s Emma Loggins who gives it an A-.
