Connection to Illinois: The novel I have written is a fictional account of what life along the Wabash was like for Early French Settlers. Much of the story takes place in what would one day be known in Indiana but a great deal of the story features Fort De'Chartres and Kaskakia in what would always remain known as Illinois. I have lived along the Salt Fork of the Vermillion River in Central Illinois since 2002. As a young man, I lived in Chicago in the 1990s.

Biography: I was born along the Tippecanoe River and have lived most of my life in the Wabash River Valley. I am currently employed as a cataloger by the Illinois Heartland Library System. 'Ouabache' is my first novel.
