For most of my life, I thought bad sleep was just part of getting older. The tossing and turning. The 2 a.m. wakeups. The endless mind chatter that refuses to quiet down.
If you’ve been there, staring at the ceiling while the clock ticks louder with every passing minute, I want you to know something important: you’re not broken.
I’m 85 years old now. I’ve lived through joy and loss, decades of work stress, family responsibilities, sleeping in combat zones, and the aches and worries that come with time. Yes: I’ve had a lot of sleepless nights.
I FOUND THE ANSWER TO INSOMNIA.

A deadly explosion rocks small-town Texas.
When a county prosecutor dies in a suspicious car blast, the sheriff’s office brings in Harry Miles — a former Air Force pilot turned PI with a nose for trouble. The deeper he digs, the more suspects emerge: a bitter husband with a secret, a shady lawyer caught embezzling, a grieving father bent on revenge, and a contractor with a history of harassment.
What looks like a tragic accident may be a deadly message — one written in fire.
Can Harry unravel the truth before the killer strikes again?
Fast-paced, gritty, and full of Texas grit, Mystery Explosion is the first standalone short story in the Bulverde Beat series.
