Dead Reckoning is a crime fiction/thriller genre work of 74,000 words that comes directly from my experience as a Vietnam-era surface warfare naval officer.
In 2018 I set out to write my autobiography. It includes stories of my time serving in the Navy during the Vietnam war, working as the manager of the Port of Portland, the starting of my company Transdevelopment.
I am an avid genealogy researcher and author. Through out my life I've finished finished multiple family books that bring together history and story.
After a career as a naval officer, entrepreneur, industrial developer and financier, writing oddly became my life’s passion. I am not sure how that all happened, as I barely made it through English as a Navy midshipman, but subsequently found my way in business school and law studies.
I began by writing genealogical family histories (another passion), then personal interest pieces in alumni magazines, and culminated in publishing an historical biography in the Fall 2022 issue of History Magazine Quarterly. “Fearless: James Leander Cathcart and the Barbary Pirates,” is the story of President Thomas Jefferson’s consul to the Bashaw of Tripoli during the Barbary Wars at the beginning of the 19th century.

I will get back to you soon!
