Fishing with Hyenas is live on Audible!

​

Go to the Shop section of this site to click on the book image, which will take you to my Amazon page. You can listen to a sample there, download the audiobook, etc.

I'm trying to figure out how to load a short sample on my website, but I'm technically challenged so please bear with me. Thank you for being so patient!​

If you would like to meet local authors, chat about (our) books, mingle with folks in the community, and oh yeah...sip wine and nibble on cheese, please stop by!  We're cooking up a fun way to introduce you to our stories, called Book Hook-up.
