ARE WE HEADING INTO ANOTHER CIVIL WAR?
In 1846, the so-called "United" States began a slow march toward its first one, just fifteen years later. In 2025, the similarities are startling—as revealed in the new historical novel: DANGEROUS TIMES
 
From the Mexican War to the Fugitive Slave Act, Dangerous Times captures the volatile, prophetic years of 1846 to 1851—a pivotal but often ignored period when the foundations of the Civil War were laid and the nation's moral fabric began to unravel.

At the heart of the story is a woman born into the rigid expectations of the Southern aristocracy, and three brothers—each charting his own course through a fractured America:
  • One becomes a fugitive, falsely accused of murder and slave-stealing
  • Another vanishes into the shadows of antebellum politics
  • The eldest inherits a once-proud plantation as its soil—and values—turn barren
Bound by blood but divided by ideology, they navigate a country struggling with the consequences of conquest, slavery, expansion, and silence.

Every major event in this novel—however strange or implausible—truly happened. The fiction adheres to the facts, revealing just how deep the echoes of history can go.

For readers of James Michener, Ken Follett, and E.L. Doctorow, Dangerous Times offers a sweeping, resonant portrait of a nation caught in the crossfire of impending conflagration.
