IT'S LIVE!

End of a New Life, Heroes of Grant’s Crossing Book 3, is now live! 


It’s now available in both digital and paperback and is coming soon to your local library.


I can’t wait for you to read Derek’s journey into civilian life, where he struggles with the trauma of war and the loss of his best friend. Our veterans deserve so much more support and appreciation than we could ever give them. 


Thank you all so very much for all the support you’ve sent my way as I’ve written and published this trilogy of small-town military dramas. Your encouragement has meant more than I can ever truly express.

It’s been over two years since Army veteran Derek Mitchell lost his best friend on the field of combat in Afghanistan. Back home in Grant’s Crossing, he turns to the bottle and one-night stands, two vices that become less and less reliable with each passing day. 

As the nightmares worsen and the drinking consumes him, Derek retreats from his friends and family, hellbent on surrendering to a battle no one else can see. 

Just as he receives an ultimatum that puts his job on the line, a stranger arrives with plans for the abandoned Victorian home next door.

With new motivation to seek help, he discovers an unexpected friendship, but will it be enough to piece his life together before it's too late?

A troubled veteran
An abandoned home
Some repairs take time

End of a New Life is the third book in the Heroes of Grant's Crossing series. Like Wayward Guilt and Safe Now, it can be read as a standalone and features veterans navigating the return to civilian life in the heartland.
