Thank you, Sam.
I enjoyed listening to your thoughts about CREGER, The Van Joe Parker Saga. This book was special to me, as the character Van Joe Parker is based on a friend, Van Wayne Mounts, who worked in the oil business and traveled the world. I showed him the part in chapter nine where the sniper was shooting up the mining camp. He was so excited and loved the name, Van Joe Parker. A week later, he suddenly passed away. I dedicated this book to him. Thank you again; you are well-spoken, believable, and easy to listen to.
