A Published Author

Back in early 1993, Don got his first book published by Avalon Publishing out of New York. It was a story about a female salvage boat Captain that he titled "Captain Ma'am". Avalon liked it because it portrayed a female in a predominantly male career role. Disaster struck (as far as Don was concerned) when they took editorial rights; changing the title to "A Kiss for the Captain" and taking out all the hells and damns. Don has since disowned the book and won't tell anyone of its existence.

He then turned to western genre and was quite successful. Avalon published "Western Vengence" and "Walkers Mission". Craving for more western adventure, Don embarked upon a series called "Frontier Justice" which topped out at six separate books.

1. Yellow Knife
2. Martha
3. Virginia
4. KapKap
5. Amos
6. Joshua

Avalon only publishes in hardback copies so the majority of the market involved sales to libraries. A few years later, he wanted to buy the rights back, consolidate the books into one long "Lonesome Dove" type of novel but found he couldn't get access to the rights.

Then due to our AirCam airplane adventures followed by our RV escapade, his writing went on a back burner for a few years. I wish him luck now as he is finally buckling down to his keyboard again and is working on a new novel he hopes to have finished by this fall.

Some volumes of Frontier Justice can still be purchased through the major book store websites.


Don has now stepped into the digital age and is posting books on line at Amazon.  You can purchase a copy or download a free sample of his two latest novels at:
