Welcome!
My website has a variety of information and photos involving the War in Southeast Asia. I also have information on my published novels and my teaching of writing.
Writing Information: To update information about writing, including classes I teach, critiquing I offer, and other activities of interest to writers in the Pikes Peak Region of Colorado Springs.
TLC Brotherhood Information: I'm adding items I've acquired through my membership in the Thailand-Laos-Cambodia Brotherhood. None of it is to be considered as representing any official point of view of the TLC Brotherhood, Inc.
My Books: This section provides information about:
A Certain Brotherhood--a fact-based novel about flying Cessnas over the Ho Chi Minh Trail during the Vietnam War. Inspired the founding of the Thailand-Laos-Cambodia Brotherhood.
The Iskra Incident--Award-winning first novel that sold about 140,000 copies when it went to paperback.. A technothriller about the Air Force instead of the CIA.
Red Lightning--Black Thunder--A technothriller inspired from my background as C-141 Aircraft Commander on worldwide missions and as the Chief of Staff of the Air Force Space Division.
These books have been widely praised and make welcome gifts to aviation enthusiasts.
Signed copies of the A Certain Brotherhood Poster (16" by 20") featuring S.W. Ferguson's cover art also is available.
Photo Albums: I have a variety of photo albums on the following subjects. Hope to add some pictures soon from my trip along the Ho Chi Minh Trail between Tchepone and Mu Gia Pass in March 2003.
