History was never a boring subject for me at Douglas High School, and I was fortunate to have outstanding history teachers at Cochise College and the University of Arizona. Thanks Larry Christiansen and J.C. Mutchler!

During the years I worked for a small daily newspaper and then for a trade magazine, I wrote many history articles. My research techniques emphasized personal interviews, public records and newspaper articles.

Those techniques and my journalism background make Borderland Chronicles stories succinct and enjoyable, but they don’t ignore life’s complexities nor its connections.

I apply the same standard to the books I write, and to the research I conduct for myself or clients. That research can lead to Borderland Chronicles articles, and sometimes research I’ve already done benefits a client.

I’ve never thought history was a boring subject. I suppose that’s because I see history simply as people’s stories that are connected together. Subscribe to Borderland Chronicles, and I’ll convince you of that.
