Battling writer’s block he finds the only way he can overcome those blank moments in front of his computer is by actually committing murder. This fascinating premise is played out in England and the authors describe their settings well … Continue reading “Your Last Breath” by Carole Parkes and Doug Lafuze

I’m not an historian and while I read extensively about the events … Continue reading Love Is In the Air: “View From the Sixth Floor: An Oswald Tale”

I love romantic thrillers. Nothing gets me going like a good thriller with some love and even a little sexiness tossed in to steam things up. My list of romantic thrillers or even horror stories with love and romance tangled in is quite extensive. Unfortunately many of those are by well known published writers. They get plenty of publicity without my two cents. So here … Continue reading Love Is In the Air: Romantic Thrillers

I write southern historical fiction, local history, and I've written a devotional book. The two novels I'm writing are set in Virginia and the Carolinas in the 1760s.

The political science major in me cannot sit idly by and remain silent.
