While our book is fictional, we understand first love, only love.
We met by chance when we were young.
We have stayed together for almost six decades.
Will Brad and Sarah enjoy the same longevity?
We invite you to read and find out.
Bob and Chris have been married more than 58 years. They have lived in five states: Illinois twice, Florida, Georgia, California and, now, the Washington state Peninsula.
They enjoy traveling, visiting historic places walking peacefully among the trees or along a quiet beach. A good movie, sometimes with a little cuddling on the couch, is a great way to end the day.
Co-writing this novel has been a new experience for us.
Bob Balgemann’s career as a newspaper journalist spanned 57 years. During that time he worked for
newspapers in three states, winning numerous state and national awards.
This is his first novel. He actually wrote one in 1979, but it was never completed.
Forty-four years later, Bob was looking forward to leisure time in retirement. But Chris, put a stop to the notion of just sitting around. She said he needed to finish the book. And so he did, with a big helping hand from her.
We present our book to you. Hopefully you will enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it.

It’s still around, being titled The Road Trip. That was about seeking revenge many years later, in response to problems he endured after his family moved from the comfortable suburban surroundings he was enjoying, to a snobbish community further out in the suburbs. The world he loved unraveled when he was going into sixth grade.
And so it is with the protagonist in First Love, Only Love. We named him Brad. Monumental changes occurred when he was going into eighth grade. Only they were matters of the heart, not tracking down ghosts from his past. The is about what the title proclaims. A first girlfriend. The mountain-top feeling. But to endure, it would have to survive all kinds of challenges. Starting with their moving away from each other. First Brad, then his girlfriend, known as Sarah. It is a 3-Part story with potential for future stories of their enduring love.
After Bob’s second retirement, following 57 years in newspaper journalism, Chris made it clear it was not time for him to just sit around and relax. No, he would finish the book he started more than 45 years ago.
Together, we have finished that book. We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it.
May you have many blessings in your life as we have had in ours.
