WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN
About the Author
David read in a reference book when he was in college that a fellow named Mellichamp printed counterfeit South Carolina money and went to Georgia to spend it. It nearly bankrupted the newly founded colony of Savannah. This began a lifelong search for more details about the incident, the people involved, the origins of the Mellichamps, and the outcome on the succeeding generations of his mother's family. The study of one incident in the life of an ancestor became a study of the history, the people, and the cultural settings through the eyes of a line of Mellichamps over 350 years.
David earned a BS degree in the Social Sciences at Georgia Southern. After he retired, he wrote his first series, a trilogy of a family living in 4000 BC. The third book in the series won the Page Turner Award for Action/Adventure in 2021. (read about: 1stSeries)
