4-02-25 I've just noticed that the audiobook version of Geronimo's Laptop is now listed right on the Amazon page for the book. Jim D. Johnston, who is from Altus Oklahoma, did the narration (over 5 hours!). Jim has a whole list of credits, and I was tickled to get him. Many of the voices available just didn't sound Western! Though they were very professional, some sounded British. Some sounded very New York. I could have sworn one even sounded a bit Asian! In short, they just weren't right for the job! Having the listing of the AudioBook version right on its Amazon page will make it easier to find. When it first came out, even I couldn't find it! I had it confused with that other audio book company! So, now, at last: Geronimo's Laptop. Available in paperback, Kindle, and Audio Book--all in one place! I know a lot of readers skip the preface when they read a book, but I hope the reader hangs in there on this book because it gives a real understanding of what was going on in that time, in that place.

I must go. My public awaits...well, really, it's just my tax man.

Oh! a quick thank you to my readers for providing the renewed interest in my first novel, A Three-Turtle Summer. It's the first book in my Turtle Trilogy.

Geronimo's Laptop is a historical fantasy in which I use a laptop to enable Geronimo to go backward and forward in Apache history. The history part is true. The laptop that Geronimo uses is the fantasy part. That said, I am not a historian, but a novelist. This book will entertain young and old as it tells the history of Geronimo and the Apache people. Suitable for all. I hope you all get a chance to read it when it comes out. Geronimo's Laptop is an extension of the play that I wrote, Geronimo, Life on the Reservation starring Rudy Ramos (High Chaparral, Yellowstone, and more) and directed by Steve Railsback. This play, in 2021, was recognized as one of The Los Angeles Times 19 Culture Picks.
