Bøger af David Karsjen

Mosts mall tightly-knit Midwestern towns don't deal well with change, and Bent River is no exception. When an arrogant unknown developer acquires a valuable tract of agricultural ground next to the city-owned lake, they don't exactly throw down the welcome mat. Then, he has the audacity to propose a considerable condominium golf course complex, immediately erupting the good people of Bent River into a firestorm of controversy. They can approve major growth in their little community or choose to stay the same in order to maintain the small town heritage they love. Local carpenter, Mayor Jack Cooper, is all for new property taxes and especially a new tournament player's golf course, but only if his constituents give it their blessing. It would put them on the map as a destination and help bring new prosperity to a floundering economy, but at what cost? Jack knows they need change, but his gut tells him their auspicious new benefactor has something to hide. Considering the drama, violence, tragedy, and romance, you have to ask yourself, "Is this our little town?" There is no doubt David is a genuine Heartlander through and through. Growing up in the Midwest he learned early on the value of a good work ethic and a hard day's work. His passion for pounding nails and being creative led him to building over two hundred homes in and around central Iowa for the last thirty years. If you don't catch him on a job site somewhere he can usually be found on the golf course, pounding a defenseless golf ball around with his buddies. David loves to write about his small town experiences and continues to live with his wife in central Iowa.
