UPDATE: Book 2 of the Charles Townsend Reed Saga is nearly written. It's a sweeping story that moves from the Barbary Coast of San Francisco to Japan and Hong Kong. Along the way, Charles Reed and Willis Connelly will encounter thieves and cutthroats, robber barons and English aristocrats, traders and diplomats. It's an adventure that will test the courage of both men. But it's Reed's high stakes play that will prove all important, bold wagers and inescapable risks that lead to a singular prize - reunification with his beloved Chan. Two years in the making, The Golden Star of Shanghai is written and now available at Amazon. It's historical fiction based on the late Gold Rush and the most important environmental law ever written, the Sawyer Decision. It's a rip roaring adventure, a western romance set against the backdrop of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It's a forgotten tale of love, greed, and death - miners vs. farmers, alcohol and opium, a Chinese prostitute held captive by a notorious tong, and a saloonkeeper, Charles Townsend Reed, who must do something about all of this.
