I am excited to unveil today the new cover for my book, Hamilton at War. The novel has been out for a while but with all the excitement around the smash Broadway musical of Hamilton I thought my book needed some freshening up. The story has been read and praised by a number of people including Alexander Hamilton's 5th Great Grandson, Douglas Hamilton. I was humbled and grateful for his comments on the story which took a couple years to write and actually began life as a screenplay.
