Dark Days, White Nights

This was originally conceived as a stand alone novel, based on a memoir of the author while a Fulbright scholar in Russia during 1999-2000. I decided on less memoir and more fiction and a short novel format, to be included with several short stories, a couple of poems, and two photo-essays, much like some of my earlier short fiction collections. It is undergoing some final revisions before being sent to beta readers, expected publication in 2026.

The Historical Novel Society

This is an international association of over 15,000 members whose focus is on, well, you guessed it—historical novels, as broadly interpreted. I submitted my first feature article as a contributor on Uruk: The First City, a novel by James Zwerneman. This is not a review, but an article discussing the time, place, and customs presented in the novel, comparing it to another novel on Sumeria during the dawn of civilization.

The article will appear on their website, https://historicalnovelsociety.org in November.​​

​​

Following my interests in history, I will submit additional articles from time to time, some of which may also appear in their quarterly print magazine.
