Tuning in way late to ep 4 of the American Rev Ken Burns doc after hosting The Friends of Mount Vernon book club -- but I did get to watch this ep earlier!! Reading through everyone's reactions. I see all the Ben Franklin content so @kelsapellettiere.com 's ears must be ringing #HATM

#OTD 5 years ago, I began working on a historical novella about James Armistead Lafayette. It's remained my best seller.

My next project is an essay collection of African American stories during the AmRev period (concept art below).

So what Ken Burns is saying is that the Declaration of Independence was and is still important. Who knew? #hatm

Photos from my return trip to Nassau a few weeks ago! Got to get a new pic with Woodes Rogers, and get myself all inspired to write the rest of his novel!

So much fun getting to tour the pirate museum again, hop on Blackbeard's ship, and relax on white sand beaches. Pirate capital of the world!

Photos from our trip to #HarpersFerry earlier last week. It was super cold, but we had a great time getting to see John Brown's fort and exploring the gorgeous scenery! @hfpa.bsky.social #WestVirginia #WV
