About me

My novel THE FREEDMAN AND THE PHARAOH’S STAFF is set for release from Sunbury Press in early 2013.

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.
