When the Day Ends...and Dreams Begin...2 - Tapa dura

Acerca del autor

This is the second in a three-book trilogy of our stories and poems. Rocky the Rock is back with more adventures and so is Uncle Frank the dog. Many of these adventures take place in Carmel-by-the-Sea in California where Don retired with his wife, Jenny and their Labradoodle dog, Uncle Frank. Book 2 has Don telling more of his interesting stories with good moral themes and his son-in-law Javier with more of his fascinating poems on a wide variety of subjects. Together they wrote Book 2 for all to enjoy and as a continuation of Book 1. They are hard at work creating more stories for you to enjoy in Book 3, which is scheduled to be released in mid-2020. Don is an Army Veteran and a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley. Don had a wonderful working career as a licensed Landscape Architect and since retiring is an Artist, Author, and currently on the Board of Directors for Papillon Center for Loss and Transition, a nonprofit helping those who have experienced the loss of a loved one.Javier is a Marine Corps Veteran and is proud that he had the chance to serve his country. He was born and raised in North East Los Angeles (NELA) and currently resides in Northern California, in the city of Brentwood. He is happily married to his wife Holly and has four beautiful children, Antonio, Sebastian, Chloe, and Giana. Let’s not forget about their awesome dog Roxy and super cool turtle Squirt, a.k.a. Mr. Turtle! Javier is currently working on his poems for Book 3. He has loved hearing about how Book 1 has put smiles on the faces of the kids who have read it, as well as their parents. He hopes Book 2 will continue to do the same. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that one day he would be able to say he is an author. He credits this new adventure in his life to his father-in-law Don Rose, who is always encouraging Javier to never give up and to pursue his dreams.
