   Through four decades of teaching, one thing that stood out to me was how history textbooks, overflowing with facts, stunted interest. When presented with short excerpts of quality historical fiction, students' curiosity ignited. Whether juvenile or adult, history becomes more meaningful when presented with realistic characters involved in a well-researched setting.
   The one constant that drives humanity's story through time is human nature itself. While modern technology separates us from the past, our inner emotions are a link to it. As such, I've always been fascinated by the contradictions within our nation's past. ​
  • At what point does the guarantee of due process under the Constitution surrender to society's fears?
  • Since most people believe bullying is a repulsive character trait, why has it flourished within our society at various times?
  • Why has superstition pushed away reason when circumstances challenged people?
  • In divisive times, how does one figure out who to trust? 

   The goal with each of my books is to captivate readers with the American story, using relevant eras of our past to motivate thought about our present. I appreciate your interest in my books. If you're so inclined, I'd appreciate a review from you on the book's Amazon site after you've read it.
