Silent Hero leans most heavily on my roots—as a small town guy living the era that began in the early 1960s. I borrowed heavily from Union City, Indiana, for geography, locations, and the house that Glenn Sorensen lives in. But Silent Hero is not autobiographical as will be obvious at the conclusion. Still, I could pour a kind of emotional connection into this book that I loved during the process, and that you’ll sense as you read.

             Silent Hero works as both story and metaphor, making it perhaps my most literary effort.

             The story’s main characters, Glenn, Amy, and Glenn’s mom, are real to me in a way that makes writing an almost unimaginable joy. I think you’ll enjoy taking our journey with us.
