The Rascals of Stafford Street
Beginning in the autumn of 2015, I began writing a series of novels loosely based upon my childhood while growing up in a small southern town during the 60s. In many ways, the series cover image, taken as the Rascals assembled for their annual 4th of July parade in 1961, was the memory which inspired my writing. Such days only exists within the memory of those of us fortunate to have lived during those remarkable days filled with mystery and laughter and mischief. The latest novel in the series, Only A Hummingbird Flies Backwards, was published in Sept.2017. All of the four novels are available at most book retailers.

The story involves humor wrapped around a thread of darkness, an ugly moment from the author's childhood when he was attacked by an older boy. An act of extreme violence soon follows, ensnaring the rascals in a life and death mystery.
