From Dulce – World Class Sports and Undeclared
Wars, Café Intermezzo, Palo Alto

Two gifted athletes: Scott Sanders, baseball natural, outsider who pushed aside the game for music, and then in an Anasazi ruin let go of his life; Lisa Treadwell, ever focused, an icy powerhouse swimmer and world-record holder not to be denied the 1972 Olympics. In the shadows Natalie Groves, her alluring presence even darker to Scott than the hard conflicts pulling apart America in the 1960s and 1970s, one who may know some of the truths of which no other will speak.

From Dulce, a story where nothing is as it seems, loss outweighs every blessing. Beyond an edgy San Francisco Bay Area to the ashes of busted operations and exploding rounds finding their mark in Asia, from martial arts and 100 mile-an-hour fastballs to the quiet dawns of canyonlands and Indian Country, arose a timeless, tragically interrupted love, and the child who became a reason to live.

Now available (2022) for the first time in print.
