Author Description

"Ride A Mad Horse" is an adventure novel/character study. A deeply personal look into three men's strengths and weaknesses, and their excesses of both. Clifford Castile is a genius-level, unabashed people user - a ruthless self-centered billionaire whose psychological games often threaten life itself. A recluse, he uses Thel McKelway, a wounded racecar driver and designer, as his public face and personal foil. But Castile feels vulnerable to his chief executive, Ron Tanzer, and fears he has taken over Castile's many companies and that his power now exceeds Castile's. The story explores Castile's manipulative drives, McKelway's torments and challenges, and Tanzer's ruthless ambitions. The strong women in each man's life are as vital and complex as their lovers. This is a very human and often surprising tale for readers fond of intrigue and dangerous pursuits.
