As a historical fiction author, I rely on a number of books to support my account of history. Indeed, over the past few years, many non-fiction books shore up my storyline accounts of certain historical eras. Many of these books are based on research studies and other fact-based accounts.
My collection is contained below. I constantly refer to passages and thoughts contained within the boundaries of fascinating books. My bookshelf grows every day while illuminating and informing my novels.
