“For anyone who really enjoys a book that will keep you turning pages in anticipation of the next experience. The Sayonara Heart, exciting until the very end and a story you will long remember. Very easy read. Great work”

“Finally, a man willing to discuss the romantic side of a U. S. Navy career alongside the macho experiences for which sailors are renowned. I particularly enjoyed the various experiences he had on the USS Bradley while serving during the Viet Nam era.”
