About By Means of Peace: Political fiction describing how groupthink will destroy America.:
A new world order looms
In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, one man’s promise of peace becomes humanity’s greatest threat.
Reuben Rogov, a charismatic third-party President, emerges as a beacon of hope in troubled times. He brokers peace in the Middle East, faces down global superpowers, and conquers both the border crisis and a deadly pandemic. As the world hails him a sociopolitical messiah, Rogov ascends to unparalleled power–but at what cost?
Darien and Marisa, a young couple from Houston, find themselves caught in the crosshairs of a rapidly changing political landscape. As Marisa is drawn into the heart of the new world order in Washington, their relationship is tested by distance, loyalty, and mounting suspicions about the true nature of Rogov’s regime.

Author Bio:
I was born in East Texas a long time ago and grew up with a sister and a brother.
At five years old, I found a tattered science book with several pages missing. The first intact page showed a monarch butterfly emerging from a chrysalis. That incident was the “ah-ha moment” that drew me into the world of science.
Upon completing high school, I joined the Air Force and served as a jungle survival instructor in Panama. While in Panama, I wrote a gossip column for the base newspaper and won second place in a short story contest. After that, there was a sixty year gap in my creative writing. Following my military service, I enrolled in Stephen F. Austin State College and got married. After graduating with a degree in biology and chemistry, we moved to Houston where our only child, a son, was born.
After writing for three years in the Air Force, I didn’t create any more fiction until I was eighty years old. My first novel, “The Dar Lumbre Chronicles,” was published in 2018, and I’ve been writing ever since. “By Means of Peace” is my third novel, and the next one is simmering on the back burner.
