History geek since a kid. Novelist for the past ten years. Secular humanist until the day I die.
A lifelong thirster for adventure, since college I've lived the length and breadth of the western hemisphere: Hawaii to the west, the Virgin Islands to the east, New York City to the north, olde Mexico to the south. And points in between, generally in the company of a woman I loved. In the course of which I received that education only travel and serial monogamy can give. Now but for a beloved rescue dog I live alone in the rolling Texas pastureland east of Austin, where in a cocoon of "green silence and solitude" I write books. My latest? Mrs. Wallenberg: a Holocaust romance.

Mrs. Wallenberg: a Holocaust Romance
|
Historical Romance
The first novel to tell the remarkable tale of Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish envoy to WWII Budapest who saved upward of 100,000 Hungarian Jews from the murderous clutches of the Nazi SS. Running throughout it is a true-life love story so unashamedly sensual, so a-drip in romantic passion that posterity, clearly intent on distancing the sainted Raoul from the sexual, has all but ignored. Prepare to walk a path no other author has dared pave, nor any reader has had the good fortune to tread.
