My Collection of Novels

I got serious about writing after retiring from a 43 year career as an airline pilot. That was November of 2019. My first book was a memoir that I’d been messing with for thirty years. After kicking into overdrive, I cranked it out in a year. I then tried my hand at historical fiction with my second book.
I launched into book #3 trying my hand at “thriller/mystery” writing, which l continued anchoring to real places and history. That seems to be my perfect fit. See below for descriptions and free chapter reads.

"I learned early how to clench a fist, and throw it with results. "

Genre: Thriller  | Coming SOON | 2025

I’m sure I wasn’t the first kid to ever wonder what convoluted idea’d lodged into his parents’ heads when they got around to name choosing. I didn’t appreciate it much at first, but by the time I was a young man, I’d bent toward it like tides slaving at the moon. I supposed that was Mom and Dad’s intent, but I wonder if they considered the bumpy ride that was likely to come with “Puma.” I’m not saying I waded into “boy named Sue” hullabaloo, and I didn’t grow up mean. But you better believe tough muscled me up through my kid stages, and I learned early how to clench a fist, and throw it with results.
