CACTUS - A Name from History

How many of you know about what Cactus meant to the Americans on Guadalcanal? The cactus plant has sharp needles on it that can cause serious injury to anyone who gets too near to it. Just how did Cactus affect World War II?

My book, Morning of the Rising Sun: The Heroic Story of the Battles for Guadalcanal, tells that story plus many others of how Guadalcanal became one of the turning points of the Pacific War in World War II. You can purchase your copy by going to my web site today.

Enjoy the summer!!

For those of us who live in our world's Northern Hemisphere, we now begin the lazy, hazy days of summer with plenty of time to relax at home or visit that place you always wanted to see. What better way to pass this summer by reading a good book! [grin]

I have received many notes from my book's readers saying how much they have enjoyed the history my book has in it. Why don't you join them and enjoy it yourself? Or, if there is a person you know who would like to read about the heroic deeds the men who were there did in those first difficult days of the Pacific War, what a great time for them to enjoy the summer with a copy of my book.

Just go to my web site to order your copy from places like Amazon.com, or you can purchase an autographed copy of my book here. Of course, for my friends who live in southern hemisphere, nothing I've said excludes you from doing the same thing. [double grin]

Happy summer, everyone.

Marking a six month checkpoint

Six months have passed since I published my new book, Morning of the Rising Sun: the Heroic Story of the Battles of Guadalcanal. Many poeple have purchased my work with great success. For those of you who have purchased my book, I sincerely thank you for your business. For those who have not, my book offers you an opportunity to get a greater insight to this critical part of our nation's and the world's history. As always, you can go my web site to know more about my book and that part of history it portrays.


As the birthday of our nation approaches, we should remember all those who gave their lives so we can enjoy the freedoms we have today. My book also celebrates those who, as Lincoln said, ". . . gave their last full measure of devotion. . .," to fight for what they sincerely believed. Guadalcanal was one of places in the world where that happened.


Happy Fourth of July, everyone.
