    • I love hearing a voice from so long ago. We look back on the old songs and think they’re too sentimental, but when you hear his voice and you know that for him the war was real and serious–it’s moving.

  2. Fabulous – aural history! I loved hearing his voice, the quality of the recording… took me back to a different era quicker, more decisively than anything I might read.

    • There’s something so poignant about an old man’s voice. I love how we can leap-frog back with early recordings. At first, as a modern, I felt impatient with the slow build up to the actual recording but it was worth the 10 second wait 🙂

About
My aim is to keep you turning pages well past bedtime with historical family sagas. Complex characters are my thing. I want to draw you into the lives of people you will love, hate and cry over. My goal is for history to come alive for you whether it be in a Civil War field hospital, an experimental Utopian society or in the dark-paneled rooms of Gilded Age socialites. If you like Gone with the Wind, Cold Mountain and Age of Innocence you may enjoy The Tenafly Road Series.
When not writing novels, you can find me knee-deep in farm muck.
