If You Come to a Bridge --- You've Gone Too Far
If You Come To a Bridge – You’ve Gone Too Far!:
I have been doing insurance inspections for 36 years and this is a book devoted to the many and varied occurrences during that time. Most are humorous and hard to believe...but trust me they are all exactly as they happened. Whoever said, "You can't make this stuff up" had this job/book in mind.

Veto
Veto: Set in 1960 Chicago, which at the time was a political hotbed. I decided to carry it a little further
involving a Presidential race, murder, assassination and prejudice. The characters are all fictional, well at least to my knowledge. Cornell Eastman, the main character, gets caught up in this web of
maneuvering and treachery hoping it won’t cost him a chance at the White House. Veto is a political murder mystery set against the backdrop of intrigue and intolerance with the presidential candidacy at
stake. As I say in the tagline, seeking the presidency can be a killer!

Face to Face With Sports Legends
Face to Face With Sports Legends: I have authored several books for other people but none more interesting or fun than this book. Joe Cullinane had an amazing and full life having been a sports radio
broadcaster for over 50 years. During that time he interviewed some of the great sports figures in history, including Jesse Owens, the famous Olympian from the 1936 Olympic Games, baseball greats Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle. There’s Wayne Gretzky and John Elway and the list goes on and on. While broadcasting the Rochester (NY) Redwing’s baseball games a ballplayer on the DL came up and worked color with him. His name was Ron Shelton, who bagged his baseball career, and went on to direct such great movies as Bull Durham, White Men Can’t Jump and Tin Cup. It’s a wonderful story of a man’s life traced through the history timeline of many famous and some not-so-famous sports personalities. It’s an enjoyable and entertaining read about one man’s journey through an incredible life.
