Remember last spring, when I was confined to a wheelchair for a couple of months? I had some time on my hands, so I decided to do something with it that I’ve always wanted to do: Write a novel.
Of course, I always have to give you the backstory first. When I was a younger man, I spent a long weekend stranded in Kanab, Utah, alone, waiting for car repairs. Luckily, I had a new book with me called The Bourne Identity. It turned out to be a great weekend, after all. That was the beginning of my love for thrillers. I owe thanks to writers like Ludlum, Baldacci, Meltzer, Koontz, Grisham, and others for providing me with countless hours of entertainment and enjoyable airplane flights.
Having written (literally) millions of words myself, I felt it was time to tackle writing in my favorite genre. It was the most fun I’ve ever had writing.
Yes, this might not be what you have grown to expect from me, but hey, give it a chance! I may surprise you! (I will throw you a bone: The protagonist may or may not be LDS.)
Get to the point already? Okay. Here it is:
Randall “Range” Rawley is celebrating his retirement and Christmas with an exotic family vacation in the Costa Rican rainforest. What could possibly go wrong?
When an international gang kidnaps Range, what was supposed to be a dream vacation turns into a nightmare, and he finds himself in a life-and-death struggle. He is separated from his family and held for ransom. With no one to rescue him, he must find a way to escape and find his family stranded deep in the dangerous wilds of the Costa Rican jungle. Range must fight—not to save the world, but to save his world.
The kidnappers have no idea who they are up against, but they will soon find out about Papa Range.
Intrigue? Yup. Danger? Yup.
Profanity? None. Sex? None.
Violence? Yup. (Thought I should warn you.)

Mostly set in the Corcovado National Park. You been?
No, not there, we visited Manuel Antonio, Arenal, Los Cascades, Tapanti, Irazu. We enjoyed 53 days in CR and found, that it is indeed a blessed and promised land 😀
