A NEW SERIES is COMING this FALL!

Will the Circle Be Unbroken The series follows the Mellichamp family from the 1600s to the 1950s. The Mellichamps lived through it all: kindness, treachery, intrigue, fame, fortune, dispair, narrow escapes, loves lost, and loves won. This first book, about living during the Inquisition, follows William Mellichamp as he navigates the rocky road life has laid before him. "Mon ami, Tomás, kill me now or let me escape, but do not turn me over to the Inquisitor." William is an entitled narcissist, cavorting about Toulouse, France, in the 1600s. When his faux friend, Tomás, threatens to turn him over to the Inquisitor, William's family refuses to harbor him yet again. He escapes Toulouse and continues running to escape Tomás, now being bankrolled by the Inquisitor. William disguises himself from friends and foe until he can figure out what to do. He decides he needs three things before he can return to his privileged life: his manservant, Andre, must be returned to him, he must be accepted back into his family, and he must be allowed to purchase his innocence for murder. Thus begins eighteen-year-old William Mellichamp's forced tumble from an elegant to an odious life. David's new series follows members of his mother's family from 1590s through 1950s. The Mellichamps were involved with John Wesley (founder of the Methodist Church), Charles Darwin, Frances Marion (a Revolutionary War hero), the Smithsonian, and in the founding of Charleston. There are buildings, schools, rivers and other landmarks in South Carolina which bear the name Mellichamp.
