Hello and welcome!

I’ve always been fascinated by history, so much so that I devoted my life to studying history and archaeology and built an earlier career around teaching history at the college level. Having grown up near both Revolutionary and Civil War battlefields, I believed at an early age that I could feel the presence of the past, and became particularly interested in the impact of war on ordinary people. In my books, I hope to introduce you to the extraordinary men and women who founded America, and to the everyday heroes and heroines who risked everything in times of war. My novels depict the great untold stories of early Americans, Founding Mothers, and other extraordinary wartime women who are so often in the shadows of more famous men or left out of the picture of famous events. In so doing, my books explore the triumphs, conflicts, choices, and sacrifices that shaped their lives and created our world today. I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I’ve loved writing them.
