Born in the East, raised in the West, and residing in the South, he has a deep love for this country. The reflection of this love is seen all throughout his writings. His pen brings poetry to life and has won him many awards, one of which is the Poet Laureate of Dorchester County, South Carolina. His collection of Civil Was poems with the same title, Ballads of the Bellum, is his inspiration for this novel. He turned these poems into prose and developed a character you will wish is your neighbor, Jeremey James “J.J.”
Jack is a Christian family man knowing love and laughter. After the passing of his wife of 52 years, he knows heartache. His children and grandchildren keep her memory alive. These passions and emotions control the flow of ink from his pen to create a story that will not be forgotten.
James A. Way, South Carolina historian, wrote “Jack has an extraordinary gift that allows his words to tug at your heart, question your biases, raise your spirits, and on occasion enjoy a good laugh.”ver menos
