• Welcome! I just want to thank you for visiting my website. Maybe you are a fan of my historical mysteries, or a person who enjoys non-fiction studies of Civil War events and leaders. Maybe you are a lover of American roots music, or a practitioner of the martial arts. Whatever your interest, I hope you will find something entertaining and informative.

See the Books pages for the latest news about my adventures in both fiction and non-fiction writing.

Or you can check out the martial arts tab if that is your area of interest.

Check out my new historical mystery, Blood on the Crossties: Murder at the First Florida Chautauqua, available on Amazon or Barnes and Noble. See the “Books (Fiction)” page for details.

The audiobook version of Blood on the Crossties is out! Narrator Rick Adamson does an excellent job of bringing to life the story of Jimmy Lee “Choctaw” Parker and his many adventures during Victorian-era Florida. The nine-hour narrator is available from audiobooks.com for $19.99.

Do authors enjoy interacting with readers? You bet we do!

We had a grand time at the Q &A session in DeFuniak Springs, Florida the second week of May. This lovely town is one of the settings for Blood on the Crossties.
