Welcome to my webpage. You will be able to find information on my published books and links to where you can purchase them. I may also provide information on current projects to give you a sneak peak at future books.
I was born and grew up in the Pacific Northwest. My early years were shaped by hardship and abuse. Escape was found in my vivid imagination, which later in life became the foundation for my stories, many of which focus on second chances or rescue from bad situations.
Upon graduating from high school, I attended various colleges, taking classes that would help with my writing, rather than focusing on a degree. After college I bought a vanagan and traveled the country (tough job, huh?), doing odd jobs and creating various characters, based on the people that I encountered.
I currently live on the northern coast of Oregon.
You might also enjoy stories from my twin brother Henry Robert Grove.
RECENTLY RELEASED!
The world of Beurn is ruled by the Crystal Dragon. When he is murdered, the village of Dragon Mountain hold a series of tests to locate the person the Crystal Dragon chose to locate his successor. Jared, a 19-year-old orphan, small for his age, and not the strongest, is the one who has passed all the tests.
He must leave the security of the mountain, and draw on courage he never knew he had to fulfill the quest. Help comes from the least likely places, from the smallest sources.
To fail means evil wins. To succeed means the world is safe, but at what cost to Jared?
PUBLISHED BOOKS
After an accident that killed his parents, 11-year- old Steve is shipped off to live with his grandmother and uncle in Freehaven, Washington, USA; people he only knew by letters and occasional phone calls.
Upon arriving he becomes aware of a creature causing havoc in the small coastal community. He also learns that his dad used to give unsolicited help to the local sheriff.
Follow along as he and his eclectic group of young spies work to solve the mystery. Darby is a 10-year-old tomboy and Steve’s first friend in the new town. Chuck is more than meets the eye and has secrets of his own. It is a miracle that he and Steve connect. Tom is the heart of the group, who just wants to be included. And then there is the creature, who isn’t what he seems.
Tragedy happens but love and acceptance win out in the end.
COMING SOON
The first book in the new Time Adventure Series.
Sam, like most teens, was going through a lot. Added to that, his family moves to Washington, DC after a family tragedy. His uncle, who lives in Alaska, introduces Sam to a boy named Ethan and they become pen pals.
In May, Sam learns his parents will be going on an archeological dig in the Middle East and Sam will be staying with his uncle.
When he arrives, things are strange and his uncle is missing. Going on an adventure of a lifetime was not on his checklist. Neither was running for his life or risking his life for another.
Follow Sam on the greatest summer adventure of his life.
