Bootlegger Briefs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last month, I wrote a little about my next book, which takes place along the Lake Erie coast. The town in the book is patterned after Vermilion, Ohio, is a charming town with friendly people. I love going there!For the past two years, I’ve taken part in Vermilion’s Ritter Library Local Author Fair. The staff does a terrific job of welcoming authors and readers, so it is a treat to go.I always research extensively for my books, so I knew that bootlegging was rampant all along the lakeshore.

Every so often, but not on a regular basis, I post about what is going on in my writing life. Right now, book 10 in my Doro Banyon series (The Conned Counselor) is with my editor.

The next book in my Doro Banyon series has a bootlegging connection, as do some of the others. As I’ve said in the past, the period fascinates me, which is a lot due to extensive local lore. On Friday, I was an area book fair. Two people told me that there were bootleggers among their ancestors. Although no one in my family got involved (that I’ve ever heard!), it is common in the Detroit-Toledo-Cleveland corridor because so much liquor traveled that route.Most of The Conned Counselor (book 10 i

Read excerpt
In the early part of the 20th Century, there were no professional golf tours as we know them today, although major tournaments like the British Open and the US Open existed, and there were other organized with prize purses. At that time, most pros made their livings by working at a course and giving lessons. Walter Hagen, the Haig, was one of the first who earned most of his money playing the game. He did it in style, and he did it well.During his career, Hagen won 11 tournaments. He was known f
