As an historian with a bachelors of science, I revel in finding out what makes society tick, the things that influence cultures, how families interact, why people do what they do. I collect stories from history, from my neighbors, from the news media and ask "what if?"

What if that message cut into the neighbors tree meant more than a childhood romance? What happened to those people? What if one of them went to seek his fortune and returned to find his true love didn't wait? And a mystery was born - The Last Bequest.
