Life has returned to normal for the Nomads. Finn and Teague are closer than ever. The bond between River and Cash is evolving into something more, and Zac has his family of misfits.

Riding the rails from one adventure to another, life is perfect.

Or so it seems…

Recently released from prison, Daniel is on a quest to locate Finn. Thanks to Beth’s videos, he has a trail that will lead him straight to his quarry.

As the miles scroll by, the distance between Daniel and Finn shortens, bringing them closer to an ultimate confrontation.

Who will survive when their paths collide?

We welcome you to My Bookish Pleasures! Can you tell us how you got started writing fiction?

I read voraciously and have always loved fiction. I wanted to write this particular story, so I sat down and finally got to work.

Describe your writing process. Do you plot or write by the seat of your pants? When and where do you write?

I start with a core idea then work out from there. In the case of the American Nomads series, I have the full story mapped out. I am filling in the blanks as I being the story to its completion.

Can you tell us about your most recent release?                       

Lost Boys is the second book in the American Nomads series. It picks up a few months from where book one left off. Things have gone back to normal for the group.
