Dollar To Doughnut is historical fiction set in California from 1927 to 1934. It is a story of triumphant love, emotional heartache, haunting nightmares, romantic conflict and the American dream. Phryne Truffaut and Leopold Throckmorton had left behind their families and friends in New York to escape retribution from organized crime. Before they can begin to rebuild their lives in California, they must first overcome personal and emotional roadblocks. The story begins in the Roaring Twenties, and travels through all the glitz and glamour of pre-code Hollywood. Political corruption, deviant behavior and the Opium culture cloud the closing decade at the onset of the Great Depression. Superficial and meaningful love affairs spice the story as the characters conquer their demons and misfortunes, revisit the past and reinvent themselves and their love.

About the Author

During the writing of The Flying Phaeton, Dollar To Doughnut, A Bridge To Cross, The Katydid Effect and In A Cream Packard, the author did extensive research and steeped himself in period music and culture: 1927 through 1967 rock and roll, blues, jazz, movies, radio, television, and popular music as well as contemporary retail products, services and prices. His novels cover the Charleston to the Twist, silent films to color television, and Prohibition to the Cuban Missile Crisis. From steam locomotives, Pullman train travel, 1954 road-trips, and international intrigue, the novels are historically correct to the timelines of each book, with passing reference to relevant news and sports. While he drew on much of his personal memories and experiences, the novels were factually verified and time-authenticated.
Life is grand. Remember. It's important.
