The cannonade of Fort Sumter in South Carolina on April 12, 1861 brought to a head the American conflict that had been simmering and boiling over for nearly 100 years. The practice of slavery had become a commercial necessity to the southern colonies of the new American nation. South Carolina where Fort Sumter is located, had withdrew from the union of the United States just six months before the firing on Fort Sumter. The inevitable conflict had begun.It would be a bloodied, full-blown war in a country that had been at peace for over 30 years. By the spring of 1862, the Union army had enlisted 700,000 men and the Confederacy had armed over 300,000. The network of railroads spanning the southern colonies would play an important role in the way the war was fought and ultimately won by the northern armies. Lieutenant Brady Jenkins had graduated from the West Point Military College two years before the war began. Upon his graduation, he had quickly been enrolled in the military police. As a Provost Marshal, he would be responsible for any criminal activity exhibited by members of the Army or the United States Navy. With an army numbering only in the tens of thousands of soldiers, this responsibility of military policing, was a fairly manageable situation.There were no prisoners of war, and the military tribunals were all based in Washington DC. The Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton, was involved in dealing with nearly every major crime committed within the ranks of the military. Then the war broke out and everything changed. Over the next four years, Brady Jenkins saw his mandate change as his rank progressed. He quickly advanced to the rank of captain, in 1862. He received his Major's oak leaves the following year. Six months before the armistice at Appomattox, he was named Major General, at age 28. When General Lee and General Grant signed the document that ended the war, Brady Jenkins was there in the parlor of the MacLean house at Appomattox, Virginia. When President Abraham Lincoln visited the city of Richmond immediately after the conclusion of the war, Brady Jenkins was at his side. He walked with the President, conscious that every tree and every building might've held a sniper, an assassin, wanting to kill the man who had reduced the South to a failed sedition, and an empty shell of its previous prosperity.The fictional story of Brady Jenkins, began on the fateful night of April 14, 1865, the night Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by the fanatic, John Wilkes Booth. Jenkins had been close to the president through all the trouble times of the war and had been part of his personal security guard when the Pinkerton agency was determined to be inadequate. This book, "Provost Marshal Brady Jenkins 1865," tells the story of how that fateful night in 1865 changed the life of the young Major General, and sent him on his journey to discover America. He was discharged honorably, by his own choice, in the spring of 1866, he had simply not re-enlisted. Book One of his story tells of his journey west "Mississippi Crossing." Book Two takes up with his arrival in the bustling new city of Kansas City, Kansas. The territory had become a full State in 1861, as the war began. Now, five years later, it was experiencing the growing pains of being home to over 25,000 American citizens. The former Provost Marshal arrived as the two forces of commerce, cattle drives and wagon trains were converging on Kansas City. They brought with them the criminal elements of gun violence and graft. Book Two, "The Kansas City Crime Scenes, 1866," brings Brady Jenkins into the heart of the young city in the throes of lethal conflicts. His story goes on.

Allen's List was published in 2011 and tells the story of an internet entrepreneur who scored big in the era following the burst of the DOT.COM bubble. It is about a man who wanted to ride the crest of a profound change in American society and ingenuity. In some ways the DOT.COM bubble happened because the culture that was to be had not yet reached maturity. Those who were the creators of the internet world that would emerge did not yet have the clientele in place because the personal computer was still making its presence felt in the popular culture. Having only come to market in 1981, the PC as it came to be called, was still a business machine that aspired to be a popular icon. When music and photography became digitalized, there was no stopping the development of the computer movement in American society. Thirty years later, the computer had become almost as commonplace in the home as the television. Unlike the television, it was highly interactive and marketers were now jumping on the bandwagon. What could not be foreseen in 1981 was the social media phenomenon. People had been using their personal computers for online shopping, gambling and even bidding on auction sites. But what came about in 2004 out of Harvard University's IT innovation labs was going to change the whole world of the PC. Facebook, MySpace and other social sites like Twitter and YouTube would bring another dimension, the audio-visual realism to computing. Where earlier computers could not manage the memory demands of digital images, the new, easily accessible home computer, was now linked to the internet. Because it had more efficient transmission speeds, this faster and more powerful machine would again move the computer culture forward to rival the television's visuals. The story of Allen Dowling, internet entrepreneur, is part of this socio-economic growth online. Somewhere around 2009, a critical mass of home computer ownership was reached and there would be no turning back. But even more essential to this social evolution in America, was the fact that twenty year olds like Mark Zuckerberg were coming of age in the computer culture. It was in their DNA; their lifeblood was programmed to think not "what can we do with the computer," but "how far can we go with the computer." Coupon Explosion is the story of this expansion.
