The Stories Behind the Stories (2010-2020)
/As we reach the end of the decade, I realized that all of my novels were (finally) published in these last ten years, most in the last five. I'll toast to that! It’s been a long road getting there.
Over those years I've written posts and articles about the real-life events behind each of my historical novels. I want to share them with you here, all in one place:
The Preserve: A Novel (2019):
"One Man’s War: Fact and Fiction in The Preserve"
"General Douglas MacArthur: A Life of (Alleged) Conspiracies"
Lost Kin: A Novel (2016):
"The True Yet Unknown Tragedy in Lost Kin: A Novel"
Liberated: A Novel of Germany, 1945 (2014):
"Dodge City, Germany: Portland Author Digs into Little-known Corner of World War II History"
"The Wild West of Occupied Germany, 1945"
Under False Flags (2014):
"War as a Deadly Swindle"
The Losing Role (2010):
"Noir and War Tell the Same Grim Tale"
"The True Story That Inspired The Losing Role"
"75 Years Ago: The Doomed German Spy Mission in the Battle of the Bulge"
There's more on this site, but these are the main ones. Happy reading, and happy new decade!
