Aside from the military and Federal law enforcement, as an avocation, I've been a historian and lecturer of 18th and 19th Century military history. It is my passion. Now I take full advantage of that passion in my writing. I chose historical fiction because I wanted my stories and my characters to come alive to the reader, while keeping faith with historical accuracy. Influences, just to name a few: C.S. Forester, Bernard Cornwell, Patrick O'Brien, and Jeff Shaara.
