Welcome to my website, and thank you for visiting.
My hope is that "The Only Thing Necessary: A Tale from the Cameron Line" will provide a window into a violent and little known part of Canadian history.

The Only Thing Necessary
A Tale from the Cameron Line
Three slaves run away from a cotton plantation to seek freedom in British territory. The best bounty hunters money can buy are hired and horrendous punishments await the returned fugitives. The outcome should be oh-so predictable. Yet no one can foresee the far-reaching impacts the escape will have on the plantation, the girl left behind, helpful strangers, the bounty hunters, and ordinary people from Tennessee to what is now Ontario, then called Canada West.
