"Sin Perdon: Acquiescence With Murder" (Vol I & Vol II) was my first attempt into the literary-world. It is a reflection of my obsession with all things "Historical," especially that genre dealing with the US Civil War, the former of which began during my attendance at the US Army's Warrant Officer's School, Ft Rucker, AL. Except, instead of re-hashing battles, tactics, terrain, weapons, leaders, etc., etc. (that have already been dealt with ad naseum by more capable men than me), I take a slightly different approach: What was ocurring in OTHER countries of the world while we were embroiled in our own little "tempest in a tea-cup?"

With that in mind, I wrote "Sin Perdon" and have approximately 8 other books (in different "stages" of being written or completed) that are sitting on my "back burners." I am currently putting the finishing touches on a book I've entitled: "Dancing With The Philistines," which should be available and on bookshelves in three to four months. I'll see about uploading the front cover & a few pages as soon as possible (to pique your interest).

This true story is the biograhpy of Caleb Huse, a West Point Grad (and later instructor), not to mention one of the disciplinarians at what would later become the University of Alabama, who was hand-picked by the newly elected Confederate President, Jefferson Davis, to make his way through enemy territory, to Europe, to become the most important arms dealer the South had ever known.

It was mostly due to the tireless & august efforts of this man that the War Between the States lasted for "four arduous years," as Gen Robert E. Lee called them.

In a few months, I will be retiring from the US Army, having served over 23 years in capacities that included providing worldwide personal protection for the top seven "brass" in the Pentagon, for different administrations. Having been provided this very rare opportunity, I was, by default, able to travel all over the globe & witness things some people only dream of or imagine. Begin in the military taught me how to communicate in "militarese." Thus the bent toward "official" jargon & the presentation of actual written reports in all of my books. Of course, calling the South my home renders my books slightly sympathetic toward the Confederacy.

Once I am retired, I expect to dedicate more of my time writing and, perhaps, with the growth of my "following," might actually see some (or each!) of the biographical tomes not only become best-sellers, but also movie productions as well! Talks are already underway to make "Sin Perdon" into either a mini-series (based on its colorful depth & length) or a full-length movie.
