The Sand, The Wind, The Night is the author's only novel and was first penned in Houston, Texas in 1982. It was an exercise mainly to see if he could imagine, conceive and develop an intriguing plot with interesting characters. The manuscript somehow survived 30 years of travel and storage, and resurfaced in Alaska sometime after 2012. After considering it a valid tale that may be more relevant to today's realities than when it was first written, Ken spent some time updating and finishing this story.
