edit data

I am a lifelong avid reader with a passionate love for a good story, be it fiction on nonfiction. As a kid, I loved genre movies-westerns, gangsters, horror-because the story was king with those kind of flicks, same with comic books, another life long passion. After years of reading, I decided to try my hand at writing the kind of fiction I enjoyed and learned there is no greater satisfaction than to labor on something you love and then discover others find pleasure in it as well.

We should have learned from the past. A review of A FEVER IN THE HEARTLAND.

A Fever in the Heartland The Ku Klux Klan's Plot to Take Over America, and the Woman Who Stopped Them by Timothy Egan

I love a good history book that focuses on the less well-known aspects of the past. The people and events at some pivotal moment that made an impact on the world, but whose lives and actions have faded into obscurity with the passage of time, and the confluence of events that followed.
