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.
