My newest book: The Grapes of Ralph

I'm excited to Share my latest book: "The Grapes of Ralph."

The opening line of Richard Nixon’s memoir is, “I was born in a house my father built!”

Well, my daddy also built us a house. Three of them. Three awful houses. But I didn’t get born in one, seeing as how I had already got born—in the Nutthouse!

Part one of this memoir is a coming-of-age story of a Mormon boy born into poverty in a home ruled by a pistol-toting, paranoid-schizophrenic father. Part two traces the young man’s misadventures after he and his blue-collar family follow Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath Trail (Route 66) from Arkansas to Southern California.

It’s a feel-good glimpse of an ordinary man facing the ordinary challenges of an ordinary life. As you read, you may see yourself. And you will surely smile but may, occasionally, grimace.
