The ‘Randomness of Life’ is never random.
It had been the roughest day of Cooper’s life, the first morning of Tet. It was followed by years of broken promises, broken hearts, and eventually a couple of cracked ribs delivered by some boys who didn’t take kindly to his rough demeanor. He was struggling with life. Everyone saw it, but him. Police officer and helicopter pilot Cooper Gardner hadn’t seen the worst—or the best the world still had to deliver. He would find his peace, surprisingly, within the hovel of a street crazy, a psychopathic mass murderer, and some dead guys who really like pie.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR-
I have been writing for years. I just never did anything with it. I started off with Summer Solstice, Winter Dreams, a story about my grandfather who lived at the turn of the century when the wild west was still, well, wild. I've spent the better part of my professional life working as a Special Agent for the Special Investigations Section of the Organized Crimed Division of the Arizona Attorney General's Office. Yep, guns, explosives, things that go bump in the night. I include them in my writing. But there's a family side as well.
I'm a middle-aged father of three grown and married kids, grandkids, dogs and have been married for over thirty years-to the same woman. Not bad. Life hasn't been easy. It's been-life. We battled through a lot, the five of us. Somehow, those things find their way into the writing process. They exist because that's me. Yep, I've done some things and seen some things that were pretty boogerish but there is always the flip side. The good side. Retired from law enforcement, I'm now teaching high school at an inner city school and college. Both were a natural change from teaching adults how to stay alive. I now get to share with our youth how to deal with the road they are now setting out on.
