About me
My novel THE FREEDMAN AND THE PHARAOH’S STAFF is set for release from Sunbury Press in early 2013.
Coming from a long line of historical relatives from Felix Mendelssohn to Col. Irving Heymont, I have always been fascinated by our past. If we forget our history we lose our future. I am a research hound, and spend gross amounts of time researching every facet of my historical works. This includes the Civil War era to Reconstruction to medieval warfare and the ancient Greek philosophers.
