It's the first of a three-book series, in which characters from the first continue their lives.Although he loves history, he has written several contemporary novels as well, and some include interesting paranormal twists, both with and without religious themes. He also loves the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and he has written several novels within different time frames based on the area, what he calls his Outer Banks of North Carolina Series.For his Amish novels, some, such as his Amish Holiday Series, have inspirational messages, while some, such as the Eliza Gray and Clara Engelman Series, tend toward romance.For another inspirational novel, readers may enjoy The Essence of Emmaline Strong. In it, the main character, an accomplished musician on the same instruments as the author, must struggle to regain her faith after a series of personal tragedies. Other hobbies include reading (of course), vegetable gardening, playing music with friends, and songwriting, some of which are in a few of his novels.
