Short Bio:
For me, writing is a labor of love. I take what we know of a historical event and combine it with action, adventure, colorful characters, and a touch of humor. My inspiration for this first Honorman novel came while reading Robert Lacey’s Great Tales from English History. I had read about the tragic sinking of the White Ship before, however this time a thought occurred to me, ‘What if someone besides that butcher survived?’ And the ‘what ifs’ kept coming. I finished the outline within a week and have never enjoyed a writing project more.
All writers find inspiration in the authors they read and enjoy. Some of the authors I admire are Larry McMurtry, Hunter S. Thompson, Hilary Mantel, Stephen King, Daphne du Maurier, Richard Adams, John Kennedy Toole, David McCullough, J.K. Rowling, and Edward Rutherford, to name but a few. I live in Connecticut, where I am hard at work on the second Honorman novel, set in the 15th century a midst the fractious houses of York and Lancaster.
