Updates

Hello,

It has been a little while since I have updated this blog.

Since my last posting I have done several speaking engagements, including WKU Live in Bowling Green in February.
I also talked to the Christian County Historical Society, the Christian County Sons of the American Revolution, and signed books at Borders in Clarksville.

I have a second book that came out in October, Men in German Uniform, and have a third book now under contract with Routledge.

I am also going to be part of the Diversion Press blog tour. I will post information here soon.

New speaking and signing events

I have three new speaking and signing events upcoming and will post details on these soon.

The first is at Borders in Clarskville, TN.
I will also be signing and speaking in Clarksville in August, and in Bowling Green, KY in February.

I was fortunate as well to present some of my research at the United States Military Academy while I was there on a teaching fellowship/visiting professorship.
