“Grandpa Ernie’s Secrets,” is now finished.

It is a fun and exciting spy thriller with a female lead unfolding in sunny Italy during the Iraq War

Who is Ruby and where did she come form?

Why is she apt to shoot first and ask questions later? How does she know Ernie, Bobby’s grandfather and secretive, retired, Georgetown “history professor?” What really happened to Bobby’s parents that left Ernie to raise him? What is “The Iron Fist?”

I can already see that Ernie may be around for another book or two in the near future. He has rubbed off on me as much as Bobby and Ruby have. I have actually started two more novels about him. Well see how that goes.

If you like fast cars and the Italian country side, come to Italy with us and see what we are up to. I guarantee you that it won’t be boring.

There are several interviews of me along with my fun storytelling videos from The Long Beach Searches for The Greatest Storyteller events on Facebook and Instagram at R.C. Hand.

“Sunrise, Sunset,” my book of ten short stories is now on Amazon and available as an Audible book.

There are now several videos of my gusting on podcasts on many topics here on my website.

We just got back on Oct.31, 2023 from Jordan and Africa. Yes, timing is everything. Those stories and photos are on Facebook and Instagram at R.C. Hand.

Longer versions will be here soon.
