https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0875VXK44
Following the Confederate victory in the civil war the two sides discover they need each other, and the Unites States reunifies in the 1870’s. An attempt by the US to buy Alaska fails. In 1910 Japan does buy it, and war ensues as the US regards Japanese incursion on North America intolerable.
1912: War for the White House
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FKTWSG7
In the aftermath of the war of 1910 a power-hungry charismatic politician attempts to steal an election and eventually works his way into the White House. {special note: I completed the first draft of this book in late 2005 or early 2006. It isn’t about Donald Trump}
1916: The War for America
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VLSSMKG
In this final book of the trilogy, the United States fights a bloody second civil war.
Armageddon’s Disciples
A murder mystery suspense, originally conceived as a pre-quill to the one I’m now calling “Armageddon’s Apostle.” A Seattle detective investigating the murder of a young Disciple found in one of the sect’s meeting houses, uncovers what appears to be the work of a serial killer.

The Privateer
A sea story set in the Revolutionary War.

Fantasy
The Children of Aquarius
An urban fantasy about three teenagers with extraordinary powers. They can float above the ground, pushing themselves along with just their toes. One (Lilith Barrett) can make people see things, another moves objects through telekinesis, the third (Whitman, the narrator), knows things he should not be able to know
The story follows them as they discover why they have these powers and what they should do with them.
I’m publishing this one on Amazon’s Vella program, in which stores are published one chapter at a time. The first three are free, then the reader buys tokens to keep reading.

Unpublished books in various stages of completion.
Armageddon’s Apostle
This is mostly my original manuscript for which “Armageddon’s Disciples” is a prequel. It needs a big rewrite and editing, but I hope to tackle that soon.
With Our Back to the Wall
I’m cleaning up the manuscript and reworking the ending. I hope to publish this in two or three months. This is an alien invasion of Earth tale, with some twists from the usual story line. The aliens don’t have force fields or death rays; the humans do not have some secret super weapon that will end the war. Most of earth’s military is destroyed at the outset of the war, forcing a desperate volunteer army to save the world.
The Privateer II Pirates and Prisoners
Sequel to The Privateer. The ending of the first book sets up this sequel. Book one has not sold well, setting up my outline has taken a back burner.
Fourth Book in the 1910 series
Working on an outline, not sure quite what I’m going to do here, but that series is the most successful thing I’ve done. I’m sure all come up with something.
I also have some shorter pieces I will be posting in the next few months.
