Joe’s Books

Joe’s first published book The Kansas NCO is a historical novel about a black market operation during the Vietnam War. The award winning book was hugely popular and, at the request of his readers, he wrote his second published book Back To The World, the sequel to The Kansas NCO. Back To The World has been extremely popular also, Three Wars is also very popular. Three Wars is a prequel that takes us back to World War Two, and some are saying it’s Joe’s best book. Joe’s latest book On War, Fishing and Philosophy is a cocktail table book, which has already earned kudos from many readers and book venues. See his book page for more details.
