When War Comes Home

About the Book

1864. Claire Vallote and the citizens of Washington D.C. wax triumphant as the once menacing southern forces are shattered and driven south by the Army of the Potomac’s thundering canon. Driven to desperation, Dixie turns to terror, and when a Confederate bomb explodes in a Washington hotel and Claire loses her unborn child, she vows to avenge herself on the rebel saboteurs, setting in motion events that plunge her into the heart of Confederate spy operations and face to face with her child’s killer.

About the Author

From the back alleys of Washington once prowled by John Wilkes Booth, to the peak of Mount Royal where confederate spies conspired to terrorize the north, to the old firehouse at Harper’s Ferry where John Brown made his stand, research for this novel took the author to the sites of some of our nation’s most dramatic history. When not adventuring, he is a professor of English at Saint Leo University. Born in Detroit, Michigan, he lived and worked in Key Largo and Big Pine Key before relocating to New Jersey.
