Ret. lawyer, USMC, grandpa, Great grandson of a KY slave Civil War vet. My debut novel “Be White With Me,” is about a striving middle-class Chicago family in crisis, and is 20% autofiction. My second novel DUPED In AMERICA is pure fiction.
“A powerful, humane novel that turns the headlines of recent years into a moving story of loss, courage, and hope. (Kirkus Reviews)

Being an overlooked writer can sometimes be a heavy lift. This review goes a long way toward brightening our day. #Booksky

Sunny likes to sit here with my head just grazing her tummy as we wait until the Aug 26 release of my new Trump infused thriller Duped In America. No mention of Epstein in it, but Trumpism is always in the air.

Here’s page one of my new Trump infused thriller Duped In America, coming out Aug 26 from Palmetto Publishing. The orange clown gangster idiot would halt publication if he could. #booksky
