Two Days in August

Alex Knight and his daughter, Aia, while early on in their motorcycle road trip to the Sturgis motorcycle rally in South Dakota, are threatened with death by Fatso and his troop of outlaw bikers.

Alex will not back away from any threat against him, his family, or his friends, and he has always maintained the best defense is to go on offense.

Alex and Aia meet four couples—regular husband-and-wife bikers—going to Sturgis. Then, at a Montana campground on their first night, they meet Mike, a special ops soldier on leave. At a convenience store in Glacier Park, Alex meets three vacationing Seattle SWAT officers.

Forces are combined to deal with Fatso’s gang, and the Warriors, another violent gang, join Fatso to take care of Alex and his daughter.

This is a high-octane adventure with a heart-of-gold hero who will protect those he

loves with fearless resolution.

80? Oh No!

Science, medicine, and attention to healthy living styles has created an ever-enlarging geriatric population. To arrive at this stage of development in reasonably good health is a blessing. Even so, one cannot escape the arrival of gremlins that enter the body uninvited and proceed to make renovations without permission.

Men may begin to bald while their ears sprout matted hair causing diminished hearing.

The author hopes the reader will take a walk in her shoes and share her thoughts and feelings throughout the reading of each chapter.
