Proud to Be a Guest on the Popular "Most Notorious!" Podcast

There's a reason why Rolling Stone called Erik Rivenes's historical true crime podcast one of the "ten best." Erik actually reads the book and conducts thorough and entertaining interviews.

I now know this first hand. I was fortunate enough to be a guest on the May 24, 2020 episode. We discussed the Kelayres Massacre - a staggeringly bloody political conflict that happened in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania in 1934. To be able to share my book and knowledge of this incident was a great honor.

Please consider listening to the podcast. You can find it on MostNotorious.com, on Apple Podcasts, and other popular streaming platforms.

As always, let me know what you think.

Another Year... Another Year of Public Domain Works

As an historical non-fiction author relying heavily on public domain resources for my research, I have - for many years - repeated this self-made little mnemonic: "Pre-23, free to you and me." It was my way of remembering that books and materials published prior to 1923 were in the public domain. On January 1, 2019, however, a full year of works (published in 1923) will be added to those freely accessible archives. So, I've had to re-write my memory tool, as the meme below illustrates. It won't win any poetry awards, but it will keep me on the right side of copyright law.
