From the Author How does a family build its values and transmit them generation to generation?  That is what The Electric is about.  Joe stands for us all and has the choice of following the difficult path of good, or the seductive path that does not come labelled.  Everything in the book, the physical setting, the language, and the timing of electrification. is authentic.  It is a deeply personal work.  I sincerely hope you enjoy the people and their struggles. Product Description All of us stand child-like between the eternal forces of right and wrong, naked to the onrush of the future. The Electric, portrays that timeless struggle. It is a novel set in 1946, on a northeast Oklahoma farm. Joe, a precocious seven year old, his grandparents, and three of their daughters, Joes aunts, face the daily hardship of farming without electricity. They inevitably collide with unseen unscrupulous antagonists driven by greed to take advantage of the coming of electric power. It is a struggle between good and evil, a struggle to the death.

He was raised in small towns of the heartland, within a day's drive west of the Mississippi, attended Catholic schools, and married his high school sweetheart (and still is). He holds degrees from Nebraska University (BA & JD) and George Washington University (LLM). He was assigned to duty stations throughout the United States and Europe, but mostly in "the Building." Now, he is a self-employed lawyer in the Washington, D.C., area. He is undeservedly blessed with wife, son and daughter, all unimaginably beautiful.
