And in the end, of course, a true war story is never about war. It’s about sunlight. It’s about the special way that dawn spreads out on a river when you know you must cross the river and march into the mountains and do things you are afraid to do. It’s about love and memory.

Great Review: Coeur d’Alene Waters Novel
Great review on Amazon for an “Engaging Mystery Set in a Powerful Natural Environment”
May 17, 2013 By Timothy K. Parker
Coeur d’Alene Waters is a compelling story of one man’s search for redemption. It is a murder mystery, but in its treatment of language, characters, spirituality and even the natural world, it is much more than that.
It is fascinating to see how the lake itself, and the setting, functions almost as another character in the story. Wonderful Pacific Northwest atmospherics, definitely shows some influence by other writers with masterful control of language, like Annie Dillard.
Highly recommended.

Historical murder mystery: Review !
Great review on Amazon for my first novel:
“Coeur d’Alene Waters is a murder mystery that rises above the genre with language that is simultaneously lyrical and hard-nosed…. an engaging story… This work of literary fiction has the tautness and complexity of the best of crime dramas.”
— Review from Alec Clayton, author of 7 novels

I still love the book-ness of books, the smell of books: I am a book fetishist—books to me are the coolest and sexiest and most wonderful things there are.
