“Poignant and funny, Donnyboy illuminates a fascinating but little-known aspect of the American home front during WWII. Not to mention, it would make a damned good movie!”
Roger Corman, Honorary Academy Award-Winning Filmmaker

Bob Cousy, Basketball Hall of Famer, Boston Celtics

Justin Zackham, Screenwriter, The Bucket List

Thomas Livingston, Author, The Paper Walls of Innocence and The Tower Is Down

“Clear writing, an excellent plot, and vibrant characters

that are very believable – and human.”

“Captivating!”

Karen Evenden, Author, A Taste of Croatia

“A wonderful coming-of-age story with all the right lessons: honor, courage, forgiveness, compassion, and loyalty.”

Cathryn Krause, Director, Ojai Music Festival

“Sets the stage perfectly with terrific characters

and a charming story.”

Bobbie Roberts, Director, New Rochelle Fund for Educational Excellence

“Not a typical coming-of-age story, Donnyboy is resplendent with one-liners that capture a young boy's evolution in a humorous and empathetic manner.”

James Phillips, Retired Book Reviewer for The Kansas City Star, Library Journal and Best Sellers

“A very good read, and well-written. Reminded me of my own youth in a little town in Montana. Sometimes little towns have the best stories.”
