Moving forward...

A Blazing Gilded Age is my latest historical novel. The intent of this venture had many facets, which naturally included telling readers about some very bold American figures, such as Teddy Roosevelt, J.P. Morgan, Vanderbilt, Edison, Tesla, Mark Twain etc. that shaped this age, along with the astounding bursts of ingenuity that propelled America into a world power. But as readers are already remarking, A Blazing Gilded Age is a harrowing saga about a poor family struggling to achieve the American dream, a dream they thought was promised to them, but soon realize it's a cruel joke, for many reasons.

And it is this human story that has touched readers, and rightfully so. One reviewer found it "deeply affecting", while another stated it is "history with feelings." The Gilded Age was indeed a golden era for some at the top, but the large majority were relegated to a life of abuse and misery. Hence, this story needed to be told.

    Thank you. If you enjoy losing yourself in the past, then you should find these books most enjoyable. What time period of these two novels appeals to you more?

      Well, yes, the past does have a great charm about it, and I had often said the same thing.

      But after reading a great deal about the past I soon realized that living without plumbing, electricity, automobiles, electronics, computers and so many other things we take for granted today, and seeing how many families in the Gilded Age lived worse than people in ancient civilizations, unless you were a Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Rockefeller etc., I am happy to live in the present.

      But I still would love to go back in time to live there for a year or so! And reading about the past is the only way to achieve that wish. So I hope you enjoy these novels!
