The Spout Spring

Ever wonder how your ancestors might have lived their daily lives and how they reacted to the news of the day?

The writer did and the result is...The Spout Spring

The Wildcat Den

Join in a fictional story of how the author’s ancestors might have lived as they helped settle Eastern Clarke County, Virginia. His first book, The Spout Spring, covers a period of from the early 1800’s to around 1850. The Wildcat Den tells of the next generation and the tumultuous times of the Civil War and Reconstruction Days. It may be fiction but there is a lot of fact that also becomes a part of the story. The reader is treated to an extra tale from Too Poor to Paint, Too Proud to Whitewash, that covers the author’s days as an enlisted man in the Navy and his time at the Naval Academy.   

The Faces Behind the Bases

The naming of military bases for the most part followed a pattern of location or person’s name. The author took a look at the naming of these base, specifically those named after an individual and offers short biographies of those persons for whom they were named. Sometimes politics rears its ugly head but overall the names seem to fit. Included are biographies of the persons whose names grace the halls at the Service Academies. Be ready to be surprised at some of the information contained in the biographies that is not commonly known.

The Crevice

The author weaves an almost believable story about the Little People who live in a cavern under one of the hills in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. His grandchildren constitute the audience as he tells of the discovery of the Little People with the dyslectic names and how they ventured out of the cavern to become a part of the war effort during World War II. It is pure fiction and could not have possibly happened. But then again...
