I'm a freelance writer who loves history, but I also write in other genres. I've won multiple awards for my newspaper writing and I'm also the author of seven novels, a non-fiction book about Civil War nurses and two non-fiction collections of his history articles. Among my novels are the popular historical novels--Canawlers, October Mourning, Between Rail and River and The Rain Man.
