I enjoy writing about hidden histories that at long last shed light on a unique person or event.


Background Information

  While enjoying a long career in higher education, I heard a fascinating tale of a mentally challenged, young Civil War soldier from Maine.  I was so moved by this unique story that I knew at once I would write my first novel, Billy Boy, The Sunday Soldier of the 17th Maine.  And so began a late in life journey to write. Ironically, I rediscovered a passion that I had not followed since childhood. Growing intrigued with the idea of shedding light on the hidden histories of a person or event, I found another story in the life of FDR--his childhood friendship with a Passamaquoddy Elder, which became a children's picture book, Remember Me, Tomah Joseph's Gift to Franklin Roosevelt. A visit to my website, noted below, showcases my other books.
