About

I am a retired college professor who specialized in medieval European history  After many years of writing academic monographs, I am now indulging my love of the Civil War by writing historical fiction. But along the way, I've also learned a great deal about today's publishing atmosphere. That experience has led me to publish a handbook on avoiding the traps of self-publishing. "The Second Mouse Gets the Cheese" draws on my adventures while writing "A Scratch with the Rebels" and "Beyond All Price."

Story Behind The Book

While I was writing a historical account of the 100th Pennsylvania Volunteer Regiment (known as the Roundheads), I kept coming across references to Nellie Chase, the regimental matron. While she was not strictly a part of my narrative, she was more interesting than many of the people about whom I was writing. When a librarian asked me if it was true that Nellie had an affair with the commander of the Roundheads, I knew I had to find out more about her.
