SAVING CARLTON is a romantic comedy about re-building lives and other things that matter to us. Denver architect Daniel Olsen blows up his career and his engagement to a socialite in a twenty-four hour period. He takes refuge first in his fixer-upper home and then faces an opportunity in a historic mountain mining town that could either save him or be the final straw in his career.
SAVING CARLTON explores the historic preservation and rehabilitation process through the eyes of the idealistic young architect, an eccentric investor and a colorful cast of townspeople. Local political rivalries, a decades-old mystery and a moderately spicy romance unfold, further complicating Dan Olsen's search for meaning in his life.
Can a disillusioned architect rediscover his passion in this quaint and quirky mountain town? His career and his future depend on it.
This fictional romantic comedy was inspired by events and experiences of the author, as historic preservation architect for the Tabor Grand Hotel in Leadville, Colorado. The project won awards from both the Colorado Historical Society and Colorado Preservation, Inc.
