About
I am an author, freelance writer and website builder. I write about my two loves, the paranormal and the blues. The common ground between my loves is history. I love history. My latest book is The Irish Slaves, a non-fiction account of a little-known part of Irish history. The one before that was Haunted Marietta, written for the History Press about my town, Marietta, GA, which recently went into its second printing! I also wrote Ghost to Coast and Ghost to Coast Tours and Haunted Places. For the blues, I wrote T'ain't Nobody's Business If I Do, about women blues singers, and I write a column for examiner.com, Atlanta Blues Examiner. You can learn all about my websites, directories, and more about my books at the website listed above.

Story Behind The Book
Many people do not realize that the Irish were slaves for many years before African slavery became common. The British regularly sent Irish slaves to the West Indies, the Carribean, and the American Colonies. Later, these Irish were "indentured servants," another form of slavery. I minored in history in college, and never knew this until about 5 years ago. It seems wrong to me that this history is so unknown. It is my hope that my book will help change the view of slavery as purely a racial i ssue, and show that is is instead a human issue.
