Doug Welch

Although I'm a retired community college instructor, I lived another life and acquired a wide range of experiences before my teaching and now author gig. I served the U.S. Navy and my country in Vietnam. I repaired robots and automated equipment in the aerospace industry. I was publicity chairman of the California Belly Dance Association for a while, actor in a motion picture, Manufacturing Engineer and Regional Chairman of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, and finally Professor of Manufacturing Technology at a local community college. Name it, and I've likely done it.
However, despite threatening to do so for many years, I'd never written a book. At least, until now. It's a lot of work. You really, really have to love it. Fortunately, (or unfortunately) I do love it and plan to continue it as long as I can type, scribble or speak.
Stay tuned for more. (See my website,Facebook and my blog for new books.)

  This book is begging for a sequel. Excellent work in the werewolf/romance genre.

  Read this on my Android. It was a good experience. Nice action thriller.
  
• Dead(ish) on June 06, 2010

  A really unusual theme for a supernatural genre book, unlike other books of this type. A little gross at times, since the heroine is literally rotting in place (a ghoul), but well written, with a lot of witty humor.
  
• Last Days and Times on June 11, 2010

  This book is a prime example of the reason that commercial publishing houses are soo lame. The irony is, that the only possible reason that this is not a best-seller is because the publishing houses were afraid of right-wing-christian backlash if they did publish it. I have read many examples of the trash that comes from the big guys, and they cannot hold a candle to the quality of this book. It is fast paced, with impeccable timing, and contains characters whose fate you emote with and care about. Mr. Loy is one good author, and a great writer. I wish him the success that he deserves. I enjoyed this book immensely, so much so, that I purchased it to read to the end. I recommend that you buy it because, like me you will eventually.
  
• The Mating: The Original Law of the Lycans Story on Aug. 18, 2010
  
  I am now reading The Keeping, and to this point, it seems to exceed The Mating in quality and style. The Mating is a very well written book, with both sexual and suspenseful danger, anticipation and drama. The author, Ms Charles, should be writing professionally. As an aside to the author, you should price this book, it certainly deserves some remuneration. I understand the motivation to be read; because I share it. However this book would be just as good and a pleasure to read, regardless of whether or not I paid for it.
  
• The Keeping on Aug. 19, 2010
  
  The fantastic Ms. Charles has done it again! An incredibly good book with intriguing characters and enough romantic and suspenseful tension to hold the reader riveted throughout the experience. The only criticism I might offer is the jarring presence of some unnecessary sex scenes; particularly the early scene between Kane and Elsie. While I have nothing against erotic passages, and frequently enjoy them, my feeling is that if the scene does not advance the plot, reveal character, or provide motivation, it is not necessary, and actually becomes gratuitous. Of course this perceived flaw reflects only my opinion, and did not prevent me from enjoying this truly marvelous book. Ms Charles is rapidly becoming one of my favorite authors.
  
• Riders of the Wind on June 08, 2011
  
  I thoroughly enjoyed Riders of the Wind. The novel spans the early days of the aeronautical industry, and how that industry survived the Great Depression and spawned the common names we know today such as TWA, Eastern Airlines, American Airlines Lockheed and Boeing. It follows the lives of a real aviation family, Charles and Doretta Cross and includes several historical characters such as Charles Lindbergh and his family as some of the books minor characters. An aviation enthusiast will find much to like in the book, as it provides details of the technology that the pioneers of flight wrestled around the sky. The book has romance, danger and and tense moments, with a dabble of fantasy thrown in. All in all a very entertaining read.
  
• Two People Having Sex (An Erotic Parody) on March 06, 2012
  
  Well written, funny and delightful satire. Someone should send all the PayPal executives a copy.
