Author has written 9 stories for Pride and Prejudice, Master and Commander, Scarlet Pimpernel, Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Mansfield Park, and Northanger Abbey.

I am a 52-year-old Louisiana native now living in Wisconsin, married with three sons – one in college, one joining the US Air Force, and one in the US Army. We also own four dogs – a Doberman, a retired racing Greyhound, and two Pugs. I work in economic development – that is, it’s my job to help businesses create new jobs and opportunities.

I have been involved in community theater in the past, as an actor, a director and a playwright. I was a business major in college – BS at Centenary College and MBA from Tulane – but I love history. I also enjoy golf, cooking (like all good Cajuns) and traveling with my wife.

I do like hard science fiction – Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury and Larry Niven are particular favorites. And, of course, JRR Tolkein. But lately historical fiction has caught my eye. I have read all of Jane Austen, Patrick O’Brian, and CS Forester’s Hornblower series. One of these days I’ll start on the Sharpe series.

My stories: The Three Colonels is my first attempt at fan fiction. I get to blend real historical figures with Austen’s beloved characters. It is as much about the three colonel’s ladies as anything else.

The companion piece, The Unexpected Passenger, stars Frederick and Anne Wentworth with Dr. Stephen Maturin of the Aubrey/Maturin series (Master & Commander).

A third companion piece is the Northanger Abbey/Scarlet Pimpernel crossover, The Last Adventure.

The Companion of His Future Life is a humorous retelling of Pride & Prejudice based on one quirk of fate: what if Mr. Collins had married Mary Bennet?

Crescent City is a crossover of Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility and Emma set in modern-day New Orleans.

Long Branch – a story of Texas is a re-imagining of Pride & Prejudice, set in post Civil War Texas.
