About the Author

The Blue Hour is my second self-published book through Amazon's KDP and CreateSpace. My previous eight books were conventionally published. This is the dividing line in my career as an author. By self-publishing, I have been able to recapture the joy of releasing a book into the world after living inside the story for months, even years. The Blue Hour went through many drafts, and I never lost my affection for the town of Clearoak, the mysteries of Oak Hill, and the boy Joshua, who reached out his hand to the ghost no one wanted to talk about. My hope is that this story is read on late nights by the fire, on lazy summer days, crisp fall mornings, and long afternoons that slip into the blue hour of evening. It is a story about life, death, hope, friendship, and forgiveness. It is a story about time, and all that endures.
