I am currently at work on a new and exciting novel, Kona: A Triathlon Love Story. Kona tells the story of how Jessica Sharpe, who almost drowns as a child, must overcome her fear of water to fulfill her late husband’s dream of competing in the triathlon world championship at Kona, Hawaii. Set in Southwestern Michigan, Jessica is mentored by a Japanese woman steeped in the ways of the Samurai swimmers and befriends four women who help her through the demands and rigors of training and competing in triathlons. She also must defeat her nemesis, Brenda Star, who will stop at nothing to beat her. This is a dramatic story about becoming physically and mentally tough, and ultimately the need to let go and move on. The ending is a doozie. I expect to publish Kona early 2025.

As a former US Marine (1979-1983), I enjoy reading the articles Bill posts on his website. I’m glad he tells the story behind the stories. It’s nice to see fellow veterans recognized.

I enjoyed your series with the veterans. No one can imagine what they went through, you really brought their stories to life for me. I’m looking forward to reading about the cowboy artist and spiritual nexus! J
Thanks Bill for creating this site. It is very informative and easy to navigate. It is nice to find you all in one place! Love begs to be shared and your stories are filled with Love. It takes a special person to bring out the best in others, one without hidden agendas, without any duplicity whatsoever. You are very transparent and that creates a feeling of trust. I hope your work continues to help you grow. Love, George
Really looking forward to reading future stories!
