Cultures clash when a young Virginia plantation belle is loved by a dashing aristocratic Frenchman and his nearly exact oposite, a mysterious, noble but rough-edged Tuareg chieftain of the desert. This masterfully told story takes place in exotic and diverse locals such as London; the tents of nomadic tribes; the decadent, intrigue-filled Turkish kasbah at Algiers, and the beauitiful but cruel desert called Sahara.

The 'noble' savage may be less savage than the people calling him that. "The Taureg: Blue Man of the Sahara" is a piece of Historical fiction following a Virginian woman and a French aristocrat as they find themselves in the desert meeting with the Taureg of the Desert, who are commonly referred to as the 'blue men'. An entertaining and intriguing piece of historical fiction outlining a lesser known early nineteenth century tribe, "The Taureg" is a top pick for fiction collections. --MidWest Book Review

His expertise as an Art Director for print and television advertising on major accounts charges his novel s every scene with a highly cinematic quality.
