“The Prince of Scribes” and “Still A Rising Tide” cited as “Local Reads of the Lowcountry”

In the February 2019 issue of Hilton Head Monthly magazine,
my new book,
“Still a Rising Tide“,
was featured in an article titled
“Local Reads of the Lowcountry” by Amy Coyne Bredeson.

It was serendipitous that the write-up about my books shared a page with another article about “Our Prince of Scribes“, a tribute by local authors to the incomparable Pat Conroy.

Both this sequel and my first book, “Swift Currents”,

focus on the Reconstruction Era through the personal stories of freedmen as they emerged from the horrors of enslavement, assisted by United States civilian and military authorities.

I believe that the current racial strife in our country begs us to

take a second look at how we got that way,

and what, together, we can do about it.
