This book is my second; the first was Terror Trail, published in 2007. It told the story of ghosts from the Civil War era to the early 2000s in present-day central Georgia. My background in marketing, love of model and real trains, and growing up in a military family were some of the inspirations for this book, Northern Lights Swing Over World War II Alaska Railways.

Swing music became my passion, and by using great musical memory songs from the past, I hope to continue to help inspire young men and women to embrace the past in their current interests and livelihoods. For people from the Baby Boom generation and the Greatest Generation, I hope they will enjoy the memories provided in this book and bring a smile or remembrance to their lives.
