I love writing about the interesting stories of history. Some of the most-fascinating stories aren't the ones you'll learn in school history classes and those of the stories I look for.
I am the author of:
* October Mourning (2005)- A novel of the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic.
* Between Rail and River (2003) - The sequel to "Canawlers" that continues the story of the Fitzgerald family.
* The Rain Man (2002)- A thriller set during the 1936 St. Patrick's Day Flood.
* Canawlers (2001)- The story of the Fitzgerald family as they struggle to make their living on the C&O Canal during the Civil War.
* My Little Angel (1998)
* Beast (1997)
* Logan's Fire (1996)
I am a multi-award-winning journalist and author of four historical fiction novels. I have 22 awards from MDDC, Associated Press, Society of Professional Journalists, Maryland State Teachers’ Association and CNHI.
