Frog Gigging
This historical fiction novel is written using the framework of letters written to the author's great-great grandparents, Robert and Sephrona Clark McCollom. These letters were from their son during his time as a Confederate soldier as well as from friends and relatives on the western frontier. The time period is 1860-1920 and traces the lives of three brothers, William, Albert, and Ransom. The title is a metaphor for the vicious hand to hand combat experienced in the Civil War. This is the sequel to "Apple Blossoms."

He obtained a BSME degree from the University of Arkansas, as well as a MSME and PhD degrees from Purdue University. He served active duty in the U.S. Air Force for three years as an officer in the Air Defense Command. He currently resides in Annapolis, Maryland with his wife. Frog Gigging is his second novel.
