Biography

Historian, and Author, Homeschool Mom of 12

Smashwords Interview

What have you been up to lately, and what are you working on next?
I'm just finishing up an economics textbook, and then I look forward to starting the fourth novel in my Life and Travels of da Vinci series. So far I've been averaging about one novel per year on da Vinci. I don't know how long the series will be when I finish it, since the first two books, Leonardo the Florentine and Leonardo: Masterpieces in Milan each covered decades of his life, and the latest one, Leonardo: To Mantua and Beyond, only covered six months of his life.
Who are your favorite authors?
I love to read and write historical fiction, so not surprisingly my favorite author is Jeff Shaara. His are among the few books that I will actually rush out and pay full price for when they come out. I think historical fiction is a great way to learn about history, and I hope that my historical novels will succeed in having even a portion of the influence on others that Shaara's have had on me.

Much has happened in the history of our country as the races have struggled through how to relate to each other. Some of it has been good – much of it has been very sad. I have not attempted to chronicle everything along the road to equity between the races: This annotated timeline contains the high and low points along that path.

We studied Jamestown in great depth a few years ago, just in time for the 400 year anniversary. I was surprised how little a knew about the settlement and its history. This little booklet came out of my research. I hope you enjoy getting to know this fascinating history as much as we did.
Da Vinci: His Life and His Legacy by
Price: $3.99 USD. Words: 14,720. Language: English. Published: October 24, 2010 . Categories: Nonfiction » History » Renaissance
What makes this book different from others about Leonardo? Most books on Da Vinci for kids have very little information, and those geared for adults generally have too much. This book is complete enough to give a good picture of who Leonardo was and what he accomplished, without overwhelming readers; interesting for those who may know nothing about him and for those who know lots about him.
