The Life and Works of an American Author

In the News


Some of the toughest combat ever described on paper.
— Los Angeles Daily News

I figured the only way to understand life was to have been through something like these soldiers had been through. I became obsessed and started to read all these books about Vietnam. I remember this one book called Guns Up! that blew me away.
— Actor Bradley Cooper, Details Magazine

   

    


His books are hard to put down, the sort that cost you a night’s sleep.
— Eagle Magazine

Guns Up! is a fast read that brings you inside the mind and heart of a highly dedicated eighteen year old Marine serving in one of Vietnam’s worst combat zones.
— Senator James Webb, former Secretary of The Navy and Presidential candidate

A tough, no nonsense portrayal of combat, courage, and camaraderie. I’m proud to have served in the same Marine Corps with Johnnie Clark.
— Colonel Oliver North
