Children of Innocence

This idea of this book is to really open the eyes of readers and tell them what the Civil Rights Era actually was like. Sometimes the hardship of that time period is under emphasized and would like to bring that to the forefront of literature. It is to educate people on perils and tribulations that was the Civil Rights Era.

Another Round of Presidential Spirits

The sequel to Presidential Spirits. 

If you thought the story ended with the McFaddens leaving Washington on Marine One and Thomas Jefferson stranded in the White House Blue Room, you are sorely mistaken. That was merely the beginning of the story . . .

In ANOTHER ROUND, Coonan puts us right back in the Presidential Spirits Saloon with a new political thriller that picks up right where his acclaimed debut novel left off. Coonan’s cast of memorable and endearing characters return, including all the presidents. Oh, and throw in the first female Commander in Chief in our nation’s history. Can Danny McFadden and the political movement he galvanized bring about meaningful change to the country’s political dysfunction? You’ll love finding out what’s next for McFadden, the Alliance, the country . . . and the Saloon. You may wish this wasn’t just a charming fictional tale. A country can dream, can’t it?

Angry Archie Thrasher and the Others

Angry Archie Thrasher and the Others is an outgrowth from writing case studies for a book on narrative problem solving for school leaders. Written as short stories, those case studies fully described characters, settings, events and issues to capture the human side of the complicated personnel, student and constituent concerns that arise in school systems. I enjoyed the process so much that after finishing the book I explored writing short stories with a variety of themes and perspectives.
