Writing history, especially overlooked eras like the Gilded Age or the post-World War I Red Scare, has been a passion of mine for almost four decades. I hope my website will give you the chance to share it.
Enjoy your visit. All the best

From our recent winter trip to this historically poignant (Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths, Jews, Moors, Islam, Christians, and both sides of the Spanish Civil War), culturally pivotal (olives, bull fighting, and tapas), and physically beautiful part of Southern Spain.
And a few more, this time along the Danube, including stops in Vienna, Bratislava, and Budapest.
A few videos from our recent trip to Prague, Czeck Republic, a wonderfully dynamic, ancient, beautiful city oozing with energy and a history both modern (1938, 1968, and 1989) and medieval (Golems, castles, and Holy Roman emperors). Enjoy-
Happy this fall to be reprising three of my annual Writers Center one-stop workshops, all on Zoom so anyone can link in from anywhere: (1) Researching and Writing Your Family History, September 16, (2) High Octane Grammar, September 25, and (3) Contracts and Copyrights for Writers, September 30. See you there!!
From the way-back archives, came across this old ditty from 2011, written at the height of one of President Obama’s rows with his own obstinate Republican Congress. Enjoy. “Government Shutdowns – Who dreamed up this crazy idea?” Viral History Blog, April 11, 2011.
