I'm inspired by people and events with a particular focus on the way that they come together to influence our lives and our history.
Though I am particularly interested in Historical Fiction done in Literary Style I'm not adverse to showing my romantic side; I weave my characters around actual events and real people that provide a personal perspective to the events that I use as a setting and time line for the story.

I've just completed a novel of about 200,000 words called "The Legacy of Braveheart; Freedom's March to King's Mountain"; it's the story of a young man and his finding love and his wartime and life experiences leading up to his participation in the Battle of King's Mountain. The story celebrates the indomitable and independant spirit of the people who made America possible for the rest of us; it started there but we still have it as evidenced by our tradition of "grassroots" issues.
I've also done a short story called "Just Another Christmas Story" that details a heartwarming story of how three ordinary guys helped a single mother family get back on their feet with the help of the local community.
