May 2009 where 20 members of our 1967-1968 championship teams joined to play golf and swap war stories. I pitched for Georgia Southern both of those years and we were fortunate to compete in the NAIA World Series in St. Joseph, MO, finishing 5th and 2nd respectively. Many of our team members signed professionally after those two seasons, with several making it to the Major Leagues during their careers. Our baseball coach was honored between games of a Georgia Southern University double header on that Saturday.
I have written six Books. The first to be published and in book stores on August 22, 2011 is entitled Nowhere To Run: A Story of Maternal Abuse And Recovery [see my Photo Album]. This first Book is an Autobiography and speaks to my up-bringing and subsequent life experiences in the military, etc. It's a work cathartic in nature. I have completed a second book entitled The Portal. The genre is time travel involving military aircraft. Lot of fun to write. It hit the book stores on December 6th. My third Book entitled The Entity has been published and represents my second Book in the Time Travel Trilogy. Publication completion date and in stores was January 16, 2012. My fourth Book, and third in the Trilogy Series is completed. It will be in stores by July 2013. This Book is entitled The Entity's Child. I have finished consolidating all three Books into one compilation. It will be in stores by December 2013. The title is The Dimensional Gateway. The story line has been slightly enhanced and includes 76 photos of present/future stealth aircraft and famous personalities from the past. It is 755 pages in length to include a Dedication, Acknowledgement, Listing of Cast of Characters, and Author Biography/Photo. My fifth book is entitled Tim O'Hara: His Athletic Life and Times, completed and published in April 2012. You got it: another time travel, but this time a sports novel. In addition, I collaborated with my Daughter Shelley to write her autobiography that has just been published by Xlibris Publishing Company. It's entitled Crying In Silence and speaks to her life living with seizures and cerebral palsy. I finished my sixth book entitled The Entity's Chosen and was published in May 2012. I have begun work on my current project entitled The Final War. This is an account of my experience in Saudi Arabia and Iraq during the First Gulf War. Each Project has been a lot of fun to put together! All works are/will be in bookstores in several Countries as well as in the US at Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Amazon.com, etc.
