My review of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is short. If you like a mystery with interesting characters, this book is for you. Lizbeth Salander and Mikael Bloomkvist will make you want to read more. Although some parts of this book are extremely Graphic, it is well worth the read. It will also make you want to visit Sweden for some reason.( Okay, so I've always wanted to visit Sweden.) The second book is just as good and maybe a little better. The girl who played with fire, a continuation of some of the first story, I couldn't wait to read this even more than the first. This one goes into more detail about Lizbeth Salander, and helps you understand why she is and why she is so strange. This one is a little more exciting in my opinion. The girl who kicked the hornets nest is good but drags some, and is very technical when it come to computers and Steig Larsson goes into more detail and mentions Sweden's political parties, but it does help with the story to understand the new characters. I believe if you have the time to put into these books you will not be dissatisfied.

The last Chapter has sold a few here and there and no one has given me a bad review, but when you edit your own work, you still can't put away that voice that says you do need an editor and someone who can bounce ideas off of you. At the moment I've been working my full time job so writing has been limited, and I've come to the conclusion that I will soon need an editor that I can afford and someone I can trust. My options are limited at the moment. Until then I'm going to continue to wri... Continue reading...

Erased
The lights in his eyes were unexpected. One light in his left eye and then the right. Someone was holding his eye lids. He was moving, lights on the ceiling sped by. The pain was excruciating. The pain was coming from his head and chest. He knew it wasn’t a dream because of the pain. You can’t feel pain in a dream, he thought.
Or could you?
“His ... Continue reading...

Jacob Stark leaned against the deck railing holding a steaming cup of coffee in his left hand. A brisk cold breeze wiped his face and he could not think of anywhere else he would rather be at the moment. He needed the cool breeze of the Atlantic Ocean to remind him on just how blessed his life had become.
In the front pocket of his red flannel shirt was a cigar he planned to light up as soon as the sun began to rise. He awoke early every morning to watch the sunrise over the Atlanti... Continue reading...

![](resources/After the Sunrise3.jpg) I 'm working on the finishing touches to "After the Sunrise." In this story I wanted to explore what would happen if people discovered that their lives were surrounded by secrets, but not to harm them, but just maybe, because God did have plans for them in the future. I did a lot of research for this two part story and had fun discovering as I went along how everything came together after one morning "After the Sunrise." I enjoyed writing about these Characters so much I decided to wri... Continue reading...

The formating for Kindle is still a work in progress for me. But it does look better than previous submissions. Being my first ebook, or rather first book ever placed out where people could actually read it is a first. No one has ever read the Last Chapter. Unlike another manuscript, where I had positive feedback, The last Chapter is a Blind faith story. If anyone ever reads the story, please give me honest feedback. I tried to make an enjoyable story, something nice to read. Dale Nichol... Continue reading...

The Last Chapter is my first ebook. The story came to me a year ago while I was working third shift. Hearing a woman on the radio one night describe her life story gave me the idea for part of the story. The story she told really had me wondering, what if? It turned out to be a heart warming story. Listining to "Coast2coast AM" helped with other parts. I like unexplained mysteries and urban legends, so my main character, Devin White, is someone whose fascinated by the supurnatural, but is...

About Me

After twenty years of writing, making mistakes, working all hours, writing down ideas, research, community college, letting people read my drafts and getting positive and negative feedback. I decided to publish one of my stories on Kindle.
I have other finished works, and if I had to describe my stories, I could only say that they're stories anyone can read. (Think of a Hallmark story, and that's one way to descibe them.)
In 1991, while reading a Dean Koontz novel, I decided to try my hand at writing. I discovered it wasn't easy but never gave up and tried to learn as much as possible.
I did discover it was fun and now I write all the time.
Hope you like the stories?
