The Civil War novel Ragman's Roll takes readers back to that bitter period of American history, as two men enlist right after war breaks out. Will Wallace and Tom Jackson were aides and security agents for President Lincoln. After helping him win the presidency in 1860, they are now embarking on a new adventure, fending off death and the possible division of the union. Tom becomes a scout for Will, who rises in rank to become Union General W. H. L. Wallace. As the hero of two battles, Fort Donelson and Shiloh, Wallace was responsible for saving Grant's army at the Battle of Shiloh, despite being fatally injured on the battlefield. A secondary plot focuses on the dreams of General Wallace as he lay dying from his wounds. A vision appears to him, reminding of him of the true reason for his sacrifice: to ensure the end of slavery and preserve democracy.

A nearly forgotten literary lion in winter, holding forth in a nursing home in New York City while a pair of media players hover around him mysteriously; a frustrated would-be impresario struggling on the fringes of nineteen-fifties popular music; a persevering cat whose adventures seem to embody a mysterious metaphor of survival; a buttoned-down engineer and his desperate gamble; these and other characters inhabit an unusual debut collection of fictional writing. Often moving and emotionally nuanced, at other times the author's language is topical and essay-like. Satirical passages, provoked by the cultural scene or world events, are unusually perceptive and savage. Antic humor co-exists with the dramatic in this collection which features a short novel and stories.
