Clearing Vietnam': Anatomy of a U.S. Army Land Clearing Team, captures the sights, sounds, and unusual encounters of a young combat engineer who found himself operating a specialized bulldozer within the dense jungles of South Vietnam. It was a place where hard work, grueling conditions and enemy encounters forced this ninteen year old to grow up, while learning what it would ultimately take to help assure his survivability there. After all the many years removed from that distant land, and its seemingly endless inner turmoil, this detailed memoir serves to bring it all back into the light; to project the viewpoint and perspective of a common combat engineer, as he performed a not-so-common task, in operating a Rome Plow tractor, while somewhat reluctantly serving an elongated, but highly educational tour of duty in a place that seemed so desolately remote, at the time. Moreover, this detailed account also highlights the achievements and dedicated spirit of the members of a unique Engineer outfit, which evolved from a rag-tag platoon of Land Clearing pioneers, to eventually achieve Company status, within an unprecedented new battlion formation, comprised entirely of Land Clearing units. Essentially, this is a nuts and bolts and sweat and blood window view of a very different sort of wartime experience.

Druid."A Druid Rises is the first book in a Fantasy Adventure series. Readers have compared it to other titles such as The Lord Of The Rings, Dragonlance Saga, and Forgotten Realms Series.

The Myth Makers is a Greek tale inspired by the life story of Peter Charles Zaloumis. Its theme is based on the ancient Greek belief that everything in the universe is spiritually connected. The terms tale and Odyssey take on new meanings in this book. A tale is defined as a story based on reality, which eventually becomes crowned with grandeur by real experiences and on mythological interpretations of these experiences. Peter's Odyssey is a biography-the story of a long and dangerous journey with many stops and adventures in mythical settings. Poetry, as a mirror of life, is used throughout this book to reflect and illuminate the meaning of Peter's mystical encounters and adventures. While the story of Peter's life told herein is true, some of the characters he met on his journey, and the conversations with them, might best be considered mythology.

Part Time Nomads: Traveling the World by Bicycle, is part memoir, part travelogue, and one hundred percent ode to taking on crazy challenges no matter your age or life situation. The book focuses on our evolution from weekend cyclists to fully loaded, self-contained cycle international bicycle travelers. Averaging eight miles an hour, we braved rain and snow and junk food, learning hard lessons about bad maps, road-hogging motor homes, and the unpredictable road ahead.Mile by mile, our endurance and ambition increased. Soon we ventured further afield. Being together 24/7, attempting things we'd never done before, wasn't always easy. Our friends thought we were crazy, but loved our tales of plunging into icy rivers, singing to ward off bears, and tossing salad in a grocery bag. The people we met, in campgrounds and dive bars, were as memorable as the places.Animating these stories is the incredible rush of getting places under my own steam, being self-reliant, and re-learning that Jim and I worked pretty damned well as a team, reigniting a passion not only for cycling, but for each other.

The Long Distance Man is a story of travel and adventure; about how one can see the world by working their way to all the fabulous countries one might dream of visiting. I was born with an adventurous soul-one who enjoyed reading about the South Seas, Captain Cook, and other great sailors. When I read those stories, I thought, "I could do that!"
