When I sat down to write Blood Clan (my gothic Civil War Thriller), I began researching Andersonville Prison in Georgia. Forty-five Thousand prisoners trapped within the open walled field. Surrounded by a sinister line called "the dead line," the prisoners were shot if they crossed it. Here they were left to starve to death, murder each other, try to survive. And then I read a baby was born within these walls. How did a woman get in there? What happened? I called her Madeline, and Blood Clan was born!
It was not long after that, that my twisty brain began to ask "what if those 13 thousand dead did not die of starvation? What if there was something in there with them? And what happened to that "experiment gone wrong" when Sherman liberated the camp in 1864? Boom!
Blood Can is not available for pre-sale where all books are sold.

Well, when my 87 year old father tells me that my grandfather "kidnapped" and saved my grandmother from a prostitution ring of loggers in the back woods of Maine at the age of 16.... my writer senses were tingling. You better believe that is my notebook now.... to be continued!

Thank you for those comments. Congrats on being a teacher! Such an important role today. As to your question, it is complicated. I love writing historical fiction AND Fantasy AND SciFi. So, the short answer is I am currently blending all of these above. My last novel is SciFi (IMAGO). The novel to be published in 2021 (Blood Clan) is a blending of History/Fantasy. A writer writes what is in the well... Right now when I lower the bucket... fantasy is what comes up. Great to hear from you. Keep teaching and reading. Best wishes
