About the Book

Robert Gazda-called Hokey Puck by some-has a problem. He's an All-American Ice Hockey jock who's had three surgeries on his knee. While he rehabs the knee, and waits to see if he will get a chance to try out for the Detroit Red Wings-his dream-he studies engineering, following in his father's footsteps. In the end he's going to have to choose, though-the NHL or engineering. On a dare, he enters an out-of-the-box design contest and wins. The innovation of the design prompts an unusual invitation to design and build a bridge that will open up a remote region of Colombia to farming a cash crop ... coffee, not coca. Gazda accepts, and soon finds himself the target of drug lords who don't want the bridge built, and a flashflood with enough power and debris to take the bridge out. This is a Young Adult career-interest adventure novel.
About the Author: David B. Graham is a widower with eight children and nine grandchildren. After retirement from various family businesses in Florida and Indiana, David moved to The Villages in Florida, where he enjoys fishing and entertaining his family. When David was very young, his father told him many wonderful, adventurous stories, with David as the hero. David carried on that tradition in Taco Tales, a collection of humorous stories based on the antics of his three sons. Through the years he has also written other stories for his children and grandchildren, and has now decided to publish them. The Hockey Puck is the first of these YA adventure and career interest novels. Showdown at the Grotto is next. He also likes writing. He relishes, and learns, from the association and fellowship of other writers. His short stories have been published in The Story Shop (2011, Court Jester Publications); and Journeys III - An Anthology of Award-Winning Short Stories (2010, Court Jester Publications)
