After his graduation in 1941 from Canoga Park High School, Harry Carter wanted a career in aviation. He was accepted into the United States Navy as an aviation cadet and upon completion of flight training, became a commissioned officer in the US Navy thus beginning his thirty-one-year career as a naval aviator and a commanding officer of three warships and service in a diplomatic post as the Naval Attache to Pakistan. Full of vivid historical details and anecdotes, The Life and Loves of a Untied States Naval Aviator charts Carter's professional and personal journey in the air and on the sea and in foreign lands. Carter shares his experiences of flying out of England and the Azores during World War II and hurricane hunting in the Caribbean. He takes you through his wartime days as a surface line officer operating off the coast of Korea and Vietnam in destroyers, a carrier, and a fleet oiler. Carter, never one to turn down a pretty girl, met his match when, while attending a Navy program at the University of Southern California, he met and married the love of his life, Ellie. Carter returned to sea in command of the destroyer Durant and continued to have a career full of foreign intrigue and adventure-minus the ladies---until his retirement in 1973. Through four wars, several countries, and a lot of romance, Carter lived life to the fullest. The Life and Loves of a United States Naval Aviator combines history, humor, and reflection to reveal one man's extraordinary life.

SEVEN CHIEFS is a fictional work about the battle of Little Bighorn, June 25, 1876. Featuring the perspective of the Blackfeet Sioux, this work takes a look at the historic battle through the eyes of its two main characters-Running Water and Soaring Hawk. Using his proven style of mixing historical narrative with military fiction, author David H.C. Carter shows us the daily life of the Plains Indian, and the intertribal relations of the Sioux Indians (Lakota) as they prepare for the changing tide of Western expansion on the American plains. Confronted with the growing threat of white settlement on their beloved and sacred hunting grounds, several factions of Lakota are forced to take a stand to protect their way of life. It is in this encircling drama that the main characters, Running Water and Soaring Heart, are likewise forced to make an important choice to defend their homes against the tyranny of American expansionism in the legendary setting of the Little Bighorn River valley.
