LINK: THERE’S NEVER A GOOD TIME TO TAKE CLASSIC LITERATURE FROM CLASSROOMS

  1. Oh my, yes. The classics matter! I am not opposed to supplementing the classics with more contemporary works. In fact that might foster really interesting classroom projects and discussions, but the best way to become immersed in a time period is to read both the great literature it produced and often even the not-as-great works that were widely read.

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.
