Jasper County

About the Book

Jasper County breaks the stereotype of the Cilvil War era with an array of men and women who havd much to lose and much to gain in the beloved red soil of Georgia.

Jasper is home to plantation owner Frank Arlington who has a benevolent attitude towards his slaves, partly because he secretly loves Sara Brown, his house servant. His nemesis, James Fallen, is a bigoted small town lawyer, ever resentful of Arlington's disrepect.

When Arlington gives 40 acres of prime bottomland to George Brown, his illegitimate son by Sara, the local farmers are enraged.

Murder, a savage war, and a fractured family at Arlington plantation ensue. The cilvil war is a tempest that ignites the best and worst in all characters.

About the Author

I was raised in New York City. I attended public school. While attending Central Needle Trade High School during the day time, I attended Manhattan Med Assistance School at night, for trainning in the profession of Radiology Technology. After graduating from both schools, I enlisted into the Air Force. I spent four years as  Tecnologist. During this time I was assigned to many Air Bases to set up Radology departments. After recieving a honorable discharge, I worked at many hospitals in New York City.

In 1977 I moved to Fresno, CA where I presently reside. I retired in 1997 and began writing Jasper County. During this time I attended the local writting classes provided by the City of Fresno. The writting of Jasper has been a wonderful experience for me, a journey through life and the difficult times endured by many in the 1800's.
