I have a neighbor who does construction and is also an author. I am helping him with his book and he will be helping me with my renovations on the house.

I have been involved with some of the formatting issues and also did a lot on the cover design. We are awaiting the publishers review of the cover, then they will review interior formatting.

I have a website set up for him and I believe that in the next week or so he will be offering the book for sale both on Amazon and online for purchase and/or download in various formats.

Here is a synopsis to get you started. This is Book 1 of 3 in the series.

I will post full links soon. They will include being able to read the first of the book for free.

Meet Teller: A rough but endearing jack-of-all-trades who cannot seem to reconcile himself with the 21st Century.

Feeling shackled by responsibilities, and disillusioned by his business partner’s greed, Teller impulsively walks away from his life, his work, and his love; and with that first step he finds himself thrust into a wild and twisting romp through nature, time and history.

Teller’s winding road takes him from the Rocky Mountain town of Telluride, through New Orleans, to the Keys of Florida; eventually leading him back to Moab, and the whitewater canyons of the Southwest where his past and future intersect. There on the banks of the Colorado River, Teller is reunited with the woman he abandoned, introduced to a new friend and realigned with an old colleague. All this while being pulled headlong into a contest of wills with his devious partner, and the efforts of a murderous rival.

Following the discovery of a horde of precious stones and gold hidden by an escaped slave of the Spanish Crown, this humorous mystery novel becomes a layered web spun around Teller and his companions, as well as a cast of 15th Century Explorers, an ancient Shaman, and a Navajo Demigod who stirs the entire mix into a supernatural stew.

The backdrop of this extraordinary journey is the beautiful and rugged southwest, and it is in this magical landscape that our hero finds redemption, as well as renewed hope.
