About the Book (Excerpts & Info)

"SAVE THE LAKE!" That was the battle cry of Sommers and his unusual group of friends as they struggled to preserve the natural beauty and retain the quiet comforts of life on Lake Victoria. But, with time running out, would they be able to overcome crooked cops, greedy lawyers, and violent gangsters? Dale Sommers came pre-programmed, raised to be a defender. Lake Victoria was like no other place on earth; he believed it was his duty to protect her. The only place he'd ever called home, Sommers promised to safeguard the lake at all costs. A solitary mountain of a man with a mysterious past, it would take Dale's supreme strength to repel unscrupulous invaders and conquer his unforgiving inner demons.
Claimed in the late 1800s by homesteaders for less than the price of a caffe latte, the coveted waterfront property accounted for three-quarters of Lake Victoria's pristine shoreline, eight hundred acres passed down through four generations. With a current valuation of more than one hundred million dollars, the stakes had become so high; no one close to Sommers appeared to be safe from injury or even death. A power-hungry U. S. Senator, backed by a corrupt sheriff, a team of shady lawyers, and a Native American crime syndicate, set her sights on snatching this crystal-clear sapphire in the rough, and no price would be too high. But ultimately, it would take a monumental team effort led by Sommers, an elderly squatter named Grumpy, and his loyal dog, Phelps, to save the day, and save the lake.

Deftly constructed at 488 pages, Uncommon Ground is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the FICTION / Action & Adventure category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Uncommon Ground meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $26.95 and $43.95, respectively.

Additionally, Uncommon Ground can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press Direct bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore

About the Author

Never thought I'd be writing, growing up in the suburbs of Chicago. Music, sports and cars were my escape from school. In my thirty-three years as an educator, stories have blown me away with how they can facilitate learning and socialization. Storytelling has shaped human culture and existence since the beginning of time. It wasn’t until my middle years that my father helped awaken my mind to the melodic rhythms and emotional richness of the written word. After a few twists and turns, I’m ready to begin a new chapter. My mind’s been percolating stories for quite a while. Time to put a few on paper. Here's the first—enjoy!
