It was New Years’ Eve in 1995 while I was looking for a history book to purchase when I decided I would try my hand at writing my own History book. Having noticed that few authors covered battles that occurred in the Southern Colonies during the American Revolution, I decide to begin research on that topic on the campus of the University of Wisconsin in Madison. I enjoyed my new hobby and, when my first book was published in 2000, I was hooked on writing.
