I am now working on the THIRD volume of the World War 2 trilogy that was begun by the first two volumes, "THE RISING TIDE", and now (as of May 13) "THE STEEL WAVE". This third book will begin after the conclusion of the Normandy campaign, and follow many of the same cast of characters through the Battle of the Bulge and the fall of Hitler, concluding with the end of the war in Europe. Many details , including the primary cast of characters, are still to be decided, and as work progresses, I will update the story here. No title for this book yet- it's way too soon. I'm hoping (as is my publisher) to have this completed for release in the fall of 2009.

One amazing aspect of the research I have been doing is the amount of material offered to me by veterans and their families. Nearly all of this material is unpublished, and thus, unknown. I have been generously gifted with some remarkable stories and extraordinary experiences, which I hope to include in the book. I deeply appreciate those who have been willing to share these wonderful resources.

Following this book, I will begin work on a fourth WW2 story that covers the end of the war in the Pacific. (I can't ignore the Marines or the sailors). Much more on that later. After that, there are several possibilities, including Korea and a return to the Civil War.
