There have been many novels about the Barbary Wars, the Napoleonic Wars or the War of 1812 and most have been from the British or Canadian point of view. A novel of life in these momentous times from a particular American perspective will be available in print and e-book versions this fall. Tempest Driven is about a Scottish boy who grows up in Maryland and fights for his country in all three of these conflicts. He risks life and limb in many roles, at sea and on land, while learning lessons about family, love, faith and forgiveness.
I have known Randy Deering for over 30 years observing his long and varied experience as leadership developer and trainer with supervisors, educators, businessmen and with non-profit organizations. He has a keen understanding of leadership principles and the ability to relate them in practical ways.
