In 2020 I uncovered the affair of Edgar Allan Poe and Frances Osgood in The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Five hundred footnotes later, my book The Affair of Edgar Poe and Frances Osgood in The Scarlet Letter was published. its companion book, The Scarlet Letter: Edgar Poe and Frances Osgood Edition + Study Guide has also been published.

I am the author of "The Divine Dantes" trilogy that is a laugh-out-loud rock love story following the characters of "The Divine Comedy" in modern times.

I also penned the awarding book "Coffee with Poe: A Novel of Edgar Allan Poe's Life." The book brings America's most mysterious author and poet to life as never before. It was a finalist winner in the USA Best Book Awards. Visit my website for exclusive interviews and to buy my titles.

I edited and annotated a number of classic anthologies of short stories from the 19th century: Crypt Classics: Best 19th Century Horror Stories Annotated; Witchcraft Classics: Best Witch Stories 1800-1849; Middle Unearthed: The Best Fantasy Short Stories 1800-1849 along with Mesaerion: The Best Science Fiction Short Stories 1800-1849.
