Review: None Dare Call It Conspiracy
None Dare Call It Conspiracy by Gary Allen My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read this book as research for my novel Backstop and sequels.

Review: Intruder in the Dust
Intruder in the Dust by William Faulkner My rating: 5 of 5 stars At a time when so much attention is given to race in this country, wouldn’t it be great if everyone stayed home for a day and read some Faulkner. I think so. The truth is buried, so the way to find it
