of History

Fiction can be exciting, inventive, and entertaining, but for really incredible and unbelievable tales, you just can't beat fact. That's why I write books that are either factual ,or based on real events and criminal cases. How about these real life cases?
-A detective who produced a last minute confession to the Lindbergh kidnapping just days before someone else was scheduled to be executed for the crime.
-A couple found shot to death in a locked room.
-A lighthouse keeper found dead in his lighthouse, but the blood on the floor belonged to someone else.
-A shipwrecked Spaniard who became a Mayan war chief in the 1500s.
And a lot more.
There are plenty of strange and fascinating events to write about and that's what I do. I write about real events because truth really is stranger than fiction.

Flanagan and the Crown of Mexico

Meet Tyler J. Flanagan, son of Irish immigrants and reluctant agent of the U.S. State Department during the Civil War. While the U.S. has its hands full with the Confederacy, the French have invaded Mexico and set up an Austrian Emperor in Mexico City. Sent south of the border to inluence both the Mexicans and the French invaders, Flanagan is soon entangled with two armies, Mexican nationalists, French invaders, feuding generals, a foreign emperor, palace intrigues, Confederate renegades, and several very alluring but dangerous women. Far from home and far from help, it will take more than blarney, Irish luck, and a strong sense of self-preservation for Flanagan to get back in one piece.
