Thank You
Thank you for visiting this site, for reading, for sharing my fascination with history, culture, art, and the characters that bring life to the echoes of the past...
​
I hope you’ll explore my books and discover some of the people, stories, and forgotten moments from a remarkable era of change that inspire my writing.
​
Join me on a journey through My Looking Glass and down the River of Time.
History has always fascinated me—not just the famous events, but the ordinary people whose dreams, struggles, and determination shaped the world around them.
​
For more than twenty-five years, my work as a consultant took me across America, from Connecticut and the East Coast to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, New Mexico, and many fascinating places in between. Along the way, I developed a deep appreciation for what makes each part of our country unique—its art, customs, architecture, landscapes, and history.​
Eventually, I settled in the Southwest, where red mesas, magnificent sunrises, and the vivid presence of the past are part of everyday life. Yet wherever I have traveled, I have found that every place has its own character, traditions, and stories waiting to be discovered.
​
Art has also been an important part of my life. I have a particular love for Asian art, with its elegant simplicity, rich traditions, and centuries of beauty. And music has always been one of the great pleasures in my life—a love that has naturally found its way into the stories I write. I also collect vintage sheet music from the 1940s and 1950s, little pieces of musical history that offer a glimpse into another time.
​
That same curiosity finds its way into my writing. I love bringing forgotten stories to life through historical fiction, weaving real events together with memorable characters and the details that make another time feel real.
