Documented history. Stories worth remembering.
Every story begins with someone.
My books include documented family history and historical fiction inspired by real events. They explore the lives of ordinary people whose courage, perseverance, and quiet choices shaped the generations that followed.
The Winters Branch Trilogy
A sweeping historical saga set at the dawn of eighteenth-century America, following Patrick Hamrick from the fields of Gloucestershire, England to colonial Virginia, where hardship, perseverance, and hope shape one man's journey from indentured servant to landowner and patriarch.
Six Hundred Years
The Long Arc of the Hamrick Family
A nonfiction book tracing one family's remarkable journey—from a small English parish where the Hamrick name first appeared in 1398, to colonial Virginia, westward across the American frontier, and ultimately back to the Virginia piedmont where the family's American story began.
Drawing from parish registers, land deeds, tax records, wills, and family history, the book reveals how ordinary lives became an extraordinary story spanning six centuries. More than a genealogy, it is a story of perseverance, migration, faith, work, and the enduring pull of home—a reminder that history is ultimately the story of people.
