Sources
These are fictional novels. In my life and research, I have read and resourced many books … fictional and non-fictional by many great authors. I owe everything I write to them. Thank you.
Below is list of some of the sources from which I have drawn my fictional stories. This is not an all-inclusive list as that would be impossible … physically and mentally.
In the end … life is just a story …
