Story Behind The Book
My wife and I have always enjoyed antiques, especially (for me anyway) antiques related to the Civil War or that era. We frequently visit antique shops wherever we go and peruse the stock. One day we were visiting a series of antique shops in s distant town and found an interesting piece. As we stood there looking at it we began discussing what life must have been like for the people who owned that particular item. That discussion formed the basis for The Antiquarian Chronicles. While the book took several years from that point to reach its final form, that was how I came up with the basic idea for the story line.
