About the Book

Jose Miguel is a decorated lifeguard living alone in a trailer outside of Los Angeles, haunted by the memory of his last summer in Peru. His life's ambition had once been simple. By charming, persuading, or wearing down his affluent family and friends, as well as the dedicated teachers at his socially conscious Catholic School for boys, he had bent the world to his will. Until he was confronted by the startling presence of Joe the American. Intrigued by the hostility of the sullen New Yorker, Jose Miguel embarks on a mission to teach him how to savor life like a Peruvian. But as a tenuous friendship forms between the boys, Jose Miguel finds himself gripped by a relentless obsession that threatens to destroy his American friend and remove Jose Miguel from his place in the world. Set in Peru's colonial haciendas, in its boisterous barrios, and in the monster surf that crashes into the rocks below the pastel-painted fishing villages outside Lima, So Long John Wayne is a story of how a boy chooses to become a man.
About the Author: I was born and spent my first few years living free on a ranch in Southern Chile. My mother, grandmother, sisters, aunts, and cousins did their best to civilize me during the years I lived within the confines of Lima, Peru. The San Francisco Bay Area and Boston, Massachusetts also tried and also failed during the many years I toiled there. Now I live in a small mountain valley in Colorado with my wife of 27 years, our critters, some bears, mountain lions, coyotes, birds of prey and a great big sky. I worked as a technical for most of my career, much of it at Sun Microsystems, the greatest company that ever was. I spent a few years working on BigAdmin and the Oracle Technology Network. I now write for the Cloud team at Ericsson. When I'm not working or writing novels, I take motorcycles apart and try to put them back together, I go on long rides, and I delight in the visits from my daughters.
