Cover Reveal!

Dear readers, I'm excited to finally share this with you! The cover art for my James A Hamilton biography was designed using a family portrait owned by one of his descendants. I am so thankful that I was put in contact with them through Columbia University during my research. Columbia holds James A Hamilton's former estate, Nevis, and it is now their Nevis Laboratories campus. They have been very supportive of my research, and I loved my visit to James's home. 

The image of the portrait that I was provided with was one that I had not found online or in any library collection during my research, so I was beyond excited when Helen Hamilton Spaulding gave her permission to use it for the cover design by Pen & Sword.

You might also notice James's signature in the background. I've spent so many hours trying to read his letters that I am going to need to schedule an eye exam, but I loved how he ALWAYS included his middle initial reminding everyone of the father of whom he was so proud. 

This book is in the editing stage right now and scheduled for publication in January 2025. I really can't wait to share it with you. It not only examines the life of James Alexander Hamilton, but through his experiences and connections you will relive the early republic era. James was born in the year of the Constitutional Convention, served in the War of 1812, watched his son and nephew leave to fight in the Civil War, and advised countless presidents and leading men of the early nineteenth century. I hope you will enjoy learning more about him and our country's roots.

You can preorder your signed hardcover copy directly through my bookshop.

Thank you for your ongoing support of my writing and this project!

Also available for pre-order at Waterstones and Amazon UK!

Luminous Cover Reveal

Coming this summer . . . . 

Luminous: The Story of a Radium Girl

Catherine Donohue was a quiet Catholic girl from a small Midwestern town, but she stood up to the radium industry, workers' compensation laws, and the Illinois Industrial Commission when her work as a dial painter left her body ravaged by radium poisoning. Her quest for social justice in the era between World Wars is emotive and inspiring.


It’s too late for me, but maybe it will help some of the others.

Kindle Sale, Cover Reveal, & Giveaway . . . Oh My!

I have great news for my readers this month!

Kindle Sale

The first bit of news is that Plantagenet Princess, Tudor Queen has been selected by Amazon UK as a Monthly Kindle Deal! That's right, if you are in the UK, you can read the story of Elizabeth of York for only 99p. It hasn't been available for that price since it was chosen for the sale almost a year ago, so snatch it up.

Cover Reveal

Readers are more eager than ever before to get started with the Plantagenet Embers series because the cover of book three has been revealed!

Queen of Martyrs will tell the story of Mary I. Though she is commonly remembered as 'Bloody Mary', I intend to help people take a closer look at this devout woman who endured much heartache in her life and investigate her motives for the religious unrest of her reign. You can look forward to Queen of Martyrs in 2017.
