Abraham Lincoln was the 1st president to be assassinated. He was also the 1st president to be embalmed. AND he was the 1st and only president to have a multi-state open casket traveling funeral.
AND THEY ALL WENT WRONG!

This sweet little girl has been following me around from room to room all day. Big steps for this rescue cat that has been afraid of men ever since we found her barely alive in a ditch three years ago.

Flawed heroes.
Multiple villains.
The infancy of science.
History you never learned in school.
And all true. Sort of.
Attention Readers - the funeral train awaits.

This is Major Henry Rathbone. He is one of the supporting characters in my latest novel, “Abraham Lincoln’s Traveling Medicine Show.” Did you know he’s considered one of the most forgotten men in history?

A couple of minor characters in my novel are prostitutes. But the real whores in the story are the politicians. Kind of like real life.

I never thought I would love this collection of stories as much as I did. What a wonderful peek into the 1930’s. Despite their age, most of these stories felt extremely modern.

It's here. Paperback available on Amazon. I'm looking into other options as well. Available everywhere on ebook. I hope you'll consider giving this book a read. I'm very proud of it and confident you will enjoy it.

Here's a sneak peek at the cover of my third novel, designed by my good friend, Joe Taylor. It's a Historical Fiction / Political Satire. I can't wait to share this with all who are interested. Soon.

Not sure how this happened, but I have found myself reading 4 books at the same time. All vastly different from each other.

This novel by indie author @dh-schleicher.bsky.social defies genre so I can only categorize it as FANTASTIC. At times devastating, often relatable, and oddly optimistic. This is one solid, smart read.

Just finished this from indie author, @erinlouis666.bsky.social. While more pulp than noir, it’s a fun quick read. If you like your crime novels full of gangsters, crooked cops, and strippers that DO NOT have hearts of gold, this sleazy tale of lust and killing should keep you turning the pages.

A lot of research has been done on my current WIP, which is historical fiction / political satire. But these three books have been the most useful.
