My Story​

For years, I have dedicated myself to researching my family’s history. I delight in uncovering the stories hidden within ancestral records, weaving them to create a rich tapestry of their lives. With a keen eye for the social contexts of each era, I meticulously analyze the past. My enthusiasm for writing has flourished alongside my love of reading, shaping me into a more skilled storyteller.

My novel, Cold Iron: Murder on Old Street, is set in my hometown of Petersburg, Virginia. It delves into the true life of my third great-grandfather, Sceva Thayer, a local blacksmith, who was murdered in 1826. Through this narrative, I aim to transport you to a bygone era, shedding light on the intricate lives and secrets of Petersburg’s past. I hope this story resonates with you and offers a glimpse into the history that has always fascinated me.
