Author Description

The Sunshine Patriot is a historical fiction tale of the American Revolutionary War, as told through the eyes and experiences of a young boy and his widowed mother. Their story reveals that the drama and danger of the fight for freedom from tyranny were more diverse and complex than our history books tell us. Captured by Loyalist troops when he was only 12 years old, our hero conquered his reserve to gain a better understanding of the world around him. He chose to honorably fight for the freedoms we have taken for granted and enjoyed for over 250 years.
