Click the pic to go to my Facebook page and leave me a message. I offer a variety of services (writing/editing/tutoring for middle school, high school, and college courses in Math/Science, English, and History) as well as conservation on broken/damaged wood cases, metal objects, fabrics, anything of value that you want cleaned/repaired/preserved. Note that cast iron objects take only a short time to properly clean, stabilize, and wax, unless they are from the ocean, are excessively corroded, or have tight, contained areas. Consult fees will apply to large and/or inaccessible items. Paper objects are much more delicate and will require more subtle conditions and care. Consultation is free, but gas is not. If you cannot bring the objects to me, please be aware that there may be a travel fee.

New and Revised! Epub version - only $14.99! Life in early La Florida may not have been as history has been written. Native Americans from this region are said to have lived for centuries due to the inexplicable power of a source of water. Early explorers went in search of this “Fountain of Youth” only to come back disappointed. The truth is that it was hidden from their view by a special tribe devoted to its protection. Young Lieutenant Stephen Hathorne, shipwrecked in La Florida in 1808 will discover the secrets of this tribe if he can survive the trip. Indeed, he discovers that he and his own family are responsible for their very existence! Traveling through threads of time itself and dangers beyond comprehension, Stephen and his new-found love will have to face a madman from the future before they can find peace in the past.
