“The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.”
- L. P. Hartley
This famous opening line from The Go-Between captures a powerful idea: the past isn’t just earlier, it’s fundamentally different.

Some insight as to why I wrote my book Clara in a Time of War:
I see the founding of this country as a Shakespearean drama. A story of conflict, uncertainty, and messy passions, set to the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy.

“I’m all but sure that cop was right, that I have a ghost in my house,” I said. “And I don’t think he’s very happy with me.” That

Here is an excerpt from The House on Chambers Road! “I descended the embankment. Buck poked his head through the springhouse door, something black clenched between his teeth. He dropped it at my feet and stepped back. A dead bird? I kicked it gently. Not a bird but a...what, a glove?”

As we mark the 250th birthday of our nation and the bloody fight that founded it, Clara in a Time of War is just the book to put you in the spirit of '76. History, romance, and rich period detail recreate those perilous times that tried men's, and women's, souls.

You will Love the House on Chambers Road!
"A thoughtful and emotional story. The House on Chambers Road alternates its plot between two timelines set centuries apart, but the book shows how some human concerns are universal. Highly recommended."
