Writes historical fiction novels, including the (now 6-part) Jonathan Kinkaid nautical fiction series that follows the adventures of an American naval officer during the Revolutionary War; and the epic adventure "Sunset of the Iroquois," about a tribe of Cayuga Iroquois who tried to prevent the invasion of their lands by Washington's army in 1779.
Also wrote the Sgt. Smith World War II trilogy that follows a squad of soldiers in the 1st Infantry Division from North Africa, to Sicily, to D-Day and into Germany. The first book, "Baptism of Fire," is about the North African Campaign. Book two, "Soldiers in the Sun" is about the Campaign for Sicily. The third installment, "Forward to Danger" begins with the D-Day invasion on Omaha Beach, takes us across France and into Germany. Although written in novel format, this series is a true story, being a memoir of my father's experiences during the war, based on documented history and stories my father told me.
