Recent Events

bookcover for honor's banner

Honor’s Banner is now for sale on Amazon in both kindle and print formats. For those of you who have been waiting for its arrival, thank you for your patience and your patronage.

For those unfamiliar with my work, Honor’s Banner is the sequel to my fifth novel, Camellia Creek, a Southern Gothic set in the fall of 1865 during the closing weeks of Presidential Reconstruction. Honor’s Banner furthers Marine Corps major Seth Parker’s investigation into the murder of Treasury operative Alan Guthrie, unresolved at the end of Camellia Creek. The two novels combine to create a saga rich in history, mystery, and suspense, all spiced with romance. They are written by a Southerner and are decidedly and unapologetically pro-Southern in theme.

Go here to read the synopsis of Honor’s Banner.

In addition to the stores referenced above, which routinely take and sell my books, I have broached a number of other independent book stores across the state that have taken copies of my books on a trial basis. Link to my Buy Books Page to see who they are, and if you’re in the vicinity of one of those stores, consider approaching the buyer and requesting one of my books.

Right now, interested readers should be able to order River’s Bend through their local chain anywhere in the country.
