Hello! Welcome to my website. I'm really pleased that you found your way here. Aside from a stand alone mystery, Steel Town, set in a small city near Pittsburgh in 1952, the books listed here are in the Jake Greenberg series set in the Far East from World War I to the end of World War II. Although fiction, each has a basis in fact, and I have tried to be true to that history.
Since I don't do book tours or book signings, I'd like to hear from you. Feel free to send me an email at howard@howardturk.com with any comments or questions.
