DL Fowler graduated from the University of Southern California with a BA in Humanities and earned top honors at the Defense Language Institute, Monterey CA. He immerses himself in historical sites and museums, scours obscure source documents, and mines for clues in neglected footnotes to assimilate Abraham Lincoln's inner world and discover people from the margins who lifted him in times of crisis. Two of his novels are curated in the Lincoln Presidential Library. People call him The Lincoln Guy.

Lincoln Raw
|
Historical Biographical Fiction
Soul of a poet, son of a farmer Abraham Lincoln's early life, as he might have told it had he been so inclined. Inescapably human, Abraham Lincoln tells his own coming-of-age story—he’s nerdy, eccentric, awkward, rustic, vulnerable, depressed, sly, witty, brilliant, driven. Lincoln Raw—a biographical novel proves that no matter what raw materials we’re made of or what mistakes we make along our journeys, our values, not our circumstances, determine who we become.
