RHYMES OF A FAMILY MAN

An anthology of simple poetry for the grandchildren of my grandchildren…but I share it with all. While each of the stories relates to specific events in my personal life, the themes and emotions are universal. I encourage you to pick the volume up with a smile and perhaps put it down with a memory of your own to warm the day.

Vivid and Descriptive

A story about perseverance, endurance, and inner strength, packed with emotional highs and lows. Coe's writing is so vivid and descriptive that I found myself squeezing my imaginary bike brakes when I got to parts in the story where Carrie had near accidents.

Gripping Drama, Tantalizing Romance, Suspenseful Danger, and Rich Characters

…he’s nailed all the elements I love in a good read: plausible scenario set in an all-too-recognizable post-COVID world, gripping drama, tantalizing romance, suspenseful danger, and rich characters that were well-developed and elicited emotional engagement from me as a reader.”

Beautifully Crafted and Gripping!

This book was so beautifully crafted and had me gripped by the close of Chapter One. The cross-country historical back story gave context and was fascinating. In the characters, I found qualities of courage, wisdom and savvy that made them so likable and admirable. It was one of those quality reads that ends too soon and begs for a sequel.

Strong Action, Mystery Formula and Imaginative Twist

It has a strong action and mystery formula that is brought to life by its imaginative twist. It’s a must-read.
