This newest installment captures the raw beauty of the wilderness and the enduring courage of a man who lives by instinct, loyalty, and unbreakable will.
What’s the Story About?
Henry Crow arrives in the quiet town of Bear Creek, his eyes set on finding a mysterious figure named Micah Gordon. Known by a handful of locals as a recluse, Gordon has kept to himself for years, leaving behind more questions than answers. When Crow begins asking around, Town Marshal Ned Walker senses danger brewing and turns to Caleb Johnson and Flora for help before things spiral out of control.
But as their search deepens, Caleb and Flora discover that the real threat is not in the present—it lies buried in the shadows of the past. Ghosts rise where memories once slept, and the truth hidden in those hills may test the courage of everyone who dares to uncover it.

One of my first forays into historical fiction that was off the beaten path was The Ethiopian, a story of a soldier in Hannibal of Carthage’s army during the Punic Wars, who is captured by the Romans and sold as a gladiator. Although entirely fictional, it was based on historical events, and in researching the topic, I discovered that the interactions between ancient Roman and Greek civilizations and those of Africa were far older than I’d previously been taught.
Few people over forty are not familiar with Lew Wallace’s Ben-Hur, but probably only a handful who know that Wallace was a Union general in the Civil War who fought a losing battle that prevented the Confederates from taking the nation’s capital at a crucial point in the war—my effort to correct that lack of knowledge was The Lost Battle That Saves Washington: Monocacy Junction.
