Jackson Tel is the author of The Chestnut Point Stories, blending fact and fiction, humor and mysticism, in historic settings with troubling social undercurrents. The storyteller writes historical fiction with a whimsical twist for adult readers who want history and heart, with a sense of humor.

His writing follows the often comic, sometimes tragic lives of the Patuxent River Mann family and their ghosts, tracing them from the present back through the centuries to their first settlement in Maryland during colonial times.

The Chesapeake Bay Region and Historical Fiction

I was captivated by the history of the Chesapeake Bay Region, which inspired me to pen historical fiction stories set in those surroundings. The mountain of material I have to work with is unscalable in my lifetime, which is both good and bad for a writer such as me.

Jackson Tel A good story is not so much about the actions the characters take as about the decisions they make.
