My debut novel, Victor's Blessing is launching November, 15 2022.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Victor's Blessing.
I have always been fascinated by the Civil War and the idea of brother against brother.

What are you working on now?
A three part series starting in 1781 with a boat of eligible females that land in Biloxi Mississippi from France as prospective brides.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am not sure. All I know is that the research and writing are the EASY part! There are a lot of titles released every single week, and even if you have a STELLAR story it still may be lost among the mayhem.

I am still new myself and learning something everyday.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
