Colter's West Wind tells the story of John Colter who was a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and an explorer and fur trapper in the Rocky Mountains. Colter's humble beginnings on the Kentucky frontier were followed by years of exploring the newly acquired Louisiana Territory and bringing commerce into the area. Colter found himself in the cross currents of British and American interests and the geopolitical struggles of the indigenous people who inhabited the area. While much mystery still surrounds much of Colter's life, Colter's West Wind builds a narrative on what is known about him and how a humble Kentuckian became part of history.

Uphill, A Civil War Epic takes the reader on the journey of Alexander Clifford Brown of the proud and highly decorated Second Ohio Infantry Regiment as he volunteers to join the Union cause, marches through the South, rises to sergeant, leads his men in two of the War's most hard fought battles, endures traumatic captivity and survives the worst maritime disaster in the history of the United States. The harrowing events of the War test Brown, his men and his family who cling to their hopes, their faith and belief in the Union cause. Brown, raised in rural Clermont County, Ohio, was raised in a sheltered, comfortable and Christian home that prepared him for the trials of his soul in circumstances he never could have anticipated.
