About

LikeJames Cagney, I'm a real Yankee Doodle Dandy, born in Kingsport,Tennessee on the Fourth of July. Every year since, I've enjoyed thefireworks displays all over the United States that take place on mybirthday. As the picture shows, my major pursuit in life, other thanadding letters after my name, including B.S., M.S. and Ph.D., seemsto be the ongoing quest for the always elusive "just-right"classic car which currently is the restoration of a 1966 JaguarE-Type coupe, but in the past has ranged from a 1941 Cadillac to a1961 Ferrari. Over the years, I've worked at a great variety of jobsranging from bus boy to university professor at Emory University'sOxford College, Southern Arkansas University and James MadisonUniversity. I've also worked as a motel clerk, exploration geologist,photographer, door-to-door salesman, newspaper columnist, landsurveyor, civil engineer, truck driver and meteorologist. Mywritings, including science articles, adventure articles, cararticles and short fiction, have appeared in such varied formats asprofessional science journals, newspapers, literary journals andhistory journals. I've completed two other novels, Last Lion ofSparta and BloodScourge, both to be availablelater this year. Certainly my greatest accomplishment,however, was marrying Elizabeth Hill in 1971. We live in the SouthCarolina foothills of the southern Appalachian Mountains have threesons, Gene D. III, an attorney in the Washington DC area, John Peter,Director of Marketing at a chain of retirements homes in Virginia andWilliam B., an information technology specialist on active duty inthe U.S. Navy.

Description

Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his. B.R.A.G. Medallion honoree!
