It is December, 1978, in a rural Northern California campground. Mark Keating is a radio newsman and has spent most of his life alone.





Today, alone again, Keating believes this is the last weekend of his life. The events of the past year included the murder of his best friend and the loss of everything he cherished.





As the story unfolds, SEQUOIA CHRONICLES delves into the history of California wildfires, historic floods, droughts as well as the development and construction of the state’s major water projects.





The book follows the evolution of commercial aircraft and the era of Presidential air travel, drawing extensively from the papers and records of President Jimmy Carter’s library in Atlanta, Georgia.





The book's narrative is filled with fascinating information about gold mining, land fraud and illicit drug trafficking. It’s all woven into an engaging and fact filled story, taking the reader on a fast paced journey from Northern California to India.





And, of course, there’s a romantic element, too. Music lyrics from 60s and 70s are sprinkled throughout the book and help move the story along. Then, there’s the ending guaranteed to catch you by surprise.
