My latest book is a tween novella titled The Dirt Foot Gang and the first in a series to come.
In the summer of 1950s Williamsport, Pennsylvania, thirteen-year-old Logan Trent and his barefoot buddies—fast-talking Pudge, quiet Cotton, and brainy Will—call themselves the Dirt Foot Gang. No shoes, no rules, just endless adventure.
What starts as a daring train-hop for Logan’s birthday thrill, turns into the ride of their lives. When Cotton tumbles into the raging river and Logan dives after him, the gang splits: two boys lost in the wild with only a clever stray dog named Angus and Grandpa’s survival tricks to guide them home ... while the others dodge railway bulls in a bustling yard, learning secret hobo codes from a rambling legend.
From tornado chases and fear of bears to mulligan stew feasts and unbreakable oaths, the Dirt Foot Gang discovers real adventure isn’t about the rails—it’s about loyalty, courage, and the friends who stick closer than mud on bare toes.
A heart-pounding, laugh-out-loud tale of friendship and freedom for every kid who's ever dreamed of running wild. All for one—and one wild ride for all!
