The early 1800's saw the fledgling United States of America making giant strides toward forming a nation. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was under construction in the new capitol of Washington, Thomas Jefferson held the presidency, Lewis and Clark were about to embark on their east to west trek across America "from sea to shining sea," and the United States was embroiled in its first major act as an international player fighting the barbary pirates on the "Shores of Tripoli,"
The British had just outlawed slavery, the slaves of Haiti overthrew their French masters, under the leadership of Toussaint L'Ouverture, the South was in the middle of a religious revival, and the Indians were becoming more united in recognizing the growing threat of the white man.
Add to this mix Atende; skilled in the ways of her people. Captured in Africa and transported to America where she is sold into slavery in Savannah. She is the catalyst that leads to Thomas Jefferson freeing the slaves in 1809.
(And I know he was only president until 1808 but you will need to read the book to find out!)
The Southeast Asia trilogy spans the formation and magnificence of the Khmer Empire, the builders of Angkor Wat in "The Kings of Angkor," and moves onto the kingdom that finally conquered the Angkorian empire in "The Kings of Ayutthaya." The trilogy concludes with "The Kings of the Toungoo Empire," the largest empire in the history of Southeast Asia, and one many have never heard of.
These books introduce as a narrative rather than as a history book. The history of the region is often shrouded in myth and legend with historical records destroyed by invasion, climate or time. It is not a well recorded history as we are familiar with in the west.
"1809; The Year They Freed the Slaves" and its sequel "The Georgia Secession" looks at what might have been if Thomas Jefferson had freed the slaves.

The book "The Annunaki" has spawned three further books.
The Return of the Druids" a tale of history and terror that commences in the America of 1834 off the coast of Chesapeake Bay when a miasma is released bringing the essence and hatred of the Druids following their massacre by the Roman Suetonius Paullinus and releasing it on the mainland.
"Deep State" again develops one of the themes from the Annunaki as a researcher discovers the facts that the DNA of humans has been altered in the distant past with ramifications for mankind and the manner in which it sees itself.
Book four in the series "The Return of the Annunaki" sees their prophesied return
The four Annunaki books are now available in a compilation "The Annunaki Novels."
