Following anything complex and difficult all the way through to its end – writing a book, finishing a six-month sales project, building a house – this is one of the most vital parts of life.

I am the author of 22 books of fiction, travel, and history, including Afoot in Connecticut, New England Nature, Homegrown Terror: Benedict Arnold and the Burning of New London, and Becoming Tom Thumb: Charles Stratton, P.T. Barnum, and the Dawn of American Celebrity, which won the Henry Russell Hitchcock Award from the Victorian Society of America and was chosen as one of the American Library Association’s outstanding university press books of the year. My supernatural novel 9 Lupine Road was a finalist for the Connecticut Book Award, and my novella, Shadows of Paris, was a finalist for the 2016 Connecticut Book Award, a silver medalist for romance in the Foreword Review’s Independent Book Awards, and the novella of the year from the Next Generation Indie Book Awards.
I am an Associate Professor of English at the University of Bridgeport and a contributor to numerous magazines and literary journals, including Appalachia, Edible Nutmeg, and Estuary, for which I have won several awards from the Connecticut chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. I have been consulted on diverse subjects and quoted by The Atlantic Monthly, USA Today, the BBC, the History Channel, Deutsche Presse-Agentur, and The Wall Street Journal.
