I’m fascinated by the ways people search for meaning and connection while buffeted about by the stresses of wartime and economic strife, again and again throughout the course of human history. I hope that my books both illuminate and entertain. I do my best to seamlessly blend fact and fiction into fast-paced, meticulously researched historical thrillers that feature well-known real life characters realistically impacting the lives of my fictional protagonists and antagonists. Writers whose works I enjoy include Caleb Carr, Nelson DeMille, Frederick Forsyth and Wilbur Smith; I hope readers of these masters will also enjoy my work.

Finalist: Book of the Year Award, ForeWord Reviews
Lt. Art Sutton and his war-weary Special Forces team parachute into Nazi Germany in 1945 to destroy targets behind enemy lines. What they don’t know: during the jump they have somehow warped through time. They land in deeply forested Germany-in 2011. They start blowing things up. The young soldiers feel like heroes; the present-day German police hunt them down like the terrorists they appear to be; US forensics experts race to uncover the identity of a mysteriously intact body wearing WWII dog tags. What is good? Who is evil? Filled with action, historically accurate detail, and even romance, this complex tale will keep you riveted through every surprising and intriguing twist.
DEVIL’S DEN
Someone is killing elderly Civil War veterans and fledgling G-Man Seth Armitage must figure out who and why, battling the corrupt Harding Administration’s obstructions and the inscrutable machinations of the ambitious young J. Egar Hoover along the way. An acclaimed historical thriller featuring meticulously researched real-life characters, Devil’s Den brings to life that fascinating and emotionally rich period between WWI and WWII in America. The 20s were roaring out, both the Civil War and WWI still haunted living memories, and Prohibition was bootlegging its way in. For fans of Caleb Carr’s The Alienist, and such nonfiction works as Erik Larson’s Devil in the White City.
The next book in the “Seth Armitage” series, In Shadowland, will take WWI veteran Armitage back to France to investigate the death of President Teddy Roosevelt’s son during the war. In the exciting yet treacherous Paris and Berlin of the Roaring 20s, Armitage will confront some unresolved issues from his own wartime service while on a special assignment for the Bureau.
