Welcome to my website…I’m happy to share my first novel, An Extraordinary Year, with all of you and hope you find the characters and situations a chance to remember your own childhood.  Set in 1963, the book follows events of significance to John Reed, a ten-year-old boy. A small northwest Ohio town provides the backdrop for John, his family, and his friends to explore the miraculous and the mundane, both of which provide lessons for living.
