My writing style is like a wheel. I begin with the hub then branch
out into other tales; however, before it all ends, I bring it back
so that it all makes sense. I'm able to describe a murder as well
as sex without resorting to explicit detail like so much found in
today's fiction. By the proper use of language, I accomplish the
same emotional response from my readers. The reader often finds
interesting essays that digress from or adds to the main plot. They
might include slices of local history or an explanation why certain
things appear as they do. My stories are told with the reader in
mind. The plots are fast moving and contain enough surprises to
hold the reader's attention. The Tennessee Mountain Man is my third
book. It takes a popular character from the first bio novel, Reno's
Funmakers, and gives his exploits after five years of marriage. The
year is 1861, and the trouble down at Fort Sumter, in South
Carolina, not only changes the United States but Jack Leffingwell
and his family. Along with the main plot, my books never fail to
offer the reader information that was previously unknown, making it
a learning experience.

My grandfather, Edward Austin Reno was the son of Edward Munn Reno,
Dean of American Magicians, a pioneer in the entertainment field of
Illusions. Edward Austin Reno took his big top tent theater along
the Circuit Chautauqua and rural Redpath route. His daughter, my
mother, gave birth to me while they entertained a week in each town
offering stage plays, comedy routines and of course, Ed Reno's
magic act. Reno's Funmakers had a history in show business. It was
what they did. It was all they knew. It was a life they loved with
all their hearts. The Great Depression coupled with WW2 finally
brought the family off the road. They always planned to return once
the war ended. Like so many plans we make ourselves, theirs didn't
materialize. I grew up in the midst of their disappointment, thus
the book. My career took a different path. First college, majoring
in business, chemistry and art. (my medium being oils). Followed by
management positions and later, with a partner, forming my own
manufacturing company called Pilot Industrial Battery. After
selling the company I consulted to the battery industry until
retiring here in Florida. I'v always been interested in writing.
But, mostly as a guest columnist in newspapers and technical
articles. Reno's Funmakers is my first novel. My second is
currently being worked on.
