US Copyright Office

This weekend I received hard copy certificates of registration from the United States Copyright Office signed by Maria A. Pallante, the 12th United States Register of Copyrights, for my three novels, Montana Harvest, Mystery at Little Bitterroot, and The Killing Zone.

The effective date of registration for all three is February 14, 2011. The significance of this date of registration is that twenty-three years ago on February 14, 1988, Valentine's Day, I proposed to my wife whom I credit for nurturing my confidence to write and providing me with the ongoing and unselfish support for my passion.
