I am pleased to announce two exciting new developments in my book-writing endeavors. First, I have recently completed Maryessa, the newest addition to my Septuagenarian series of mystery thrillers. See below for more details. Second, for those of you who like to listen to books rather than read them, all four of my thriller novels are now available as audiobooks from Audible. They are wonderfully narrated by Yreka’s own Nathan Agin.

You can get all of my books locally at the following Yreka locations: Zephyr Books and Coffee, Natalia’s Coffee and Books, and the Fairchild Medical Center Gift Shop. The paperback and Kindle eBook versions of the four novels and my nonfiction documentary, The Great Yreka Courthouse Gold Heist, are also available from Amazon HERE.

My five published books so far:

Maryessa – Septuagenarian Thriller #4.  Land grabs, foreign cartels, drugs, homeless characters, fearless teens, and courtroom drama fill this gritty tale of greed, murder, suicide and corruption. The Septuagenarian once again brings you with him on his relentless pursuit of justice, picking up where law enforcement fails to find answers and evidence. You will meet the very likable and homeless Arlene, and welcome back familiar characters like Brenda LeHane (“the beautiful black lady”), granddaughter KayKay, Sheriff Brad Davis, and of course Bebe.

Angelica – Septuagenarian Thriller #3. You can follow the Septuagenarian, his wise and faithful dog Bebe, and the Beautiful Black Lady as they try to survive a cyclone of terror involving Indian casinos, illegal drugs, abusive government officials, and Formula 1 racing. From remote far northern California to the exotic racing world in Abu Dhabi this book is a fast-paced thriller you will want to experience. Click here to READ MORE

The Mansion – A Septuagenarian Thriller, my second novel, follows the further adventures of the Septuagenarian, his friend Brenda LeHane (the Beautiful Black Lady), and his dog Bebe. Published in February 2021, the story tells of their struggle for survival against the unspeakable evils that lurk inside and under a mysterious mansion in the Scott Valley, a remote region of the mountains of northern California.

The Septuagenarian – An R-Rated Thriller, my first novel published in August, 2019, is where we first meet Bob, the retired septuagenarian judge and Bebe, his Labrador Retriever.

As he tries to rescue her, he is shot by her torturer. READ MORE

The Great Yreka Courthouse Gold Heist is a nonfiction documentary account of the 2012 theft of the gold display from the courthouse in my home town published in April, 2021. On the morning of February 1, 2012, before the general public began entering the Siskiyou County courthouse in Yreka, California, County Maintenance Supervisor Billy McCully and two others entered the building on their way to work. Once inside, they were shocked to discover that the gold display, located in the front entryway, had been severely compromised and that a significant portion of the contents was gone! READ MORE

And, now, a plug for my son, also named Bob Kaster. On March 1, 2021, Bob and his partner Keith opened their new wine and tapas bar in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia, El Viñedo Local, featuring wines and cuisine inspired by South America’s emerging wine culture and sumptuous culinary pairings.
