It seems as though life continues to be full of adventure and changes. As many of you know, I have successfully written and had published, my first book, The Calling: Seated at the Table with the Broken. Although it came out in April of 2022 we have continued to work hard and now have two additional books, Honoring the Calling and Raising Ozark. Both are due to be released and available to the public in November and December of 2023. In saying this, I wanted to inform our followers that the Tales from the Dad Side blog site will transition into a authors site effective immediately. Once fully functional, the site will be a place to learn of new literary offerings, events, and an opportunity to purchase one of our books easily from the site. For those followers who have voiced their love for the Tales from the Dad Side stories, Richards third book, Raising Ozark, is a compilation of those stories in one book. We look forward to what the future holds and hope to see you along for the ride.
