A chance encounter leads a young Canadian into the maelstrom of the American Civil War. As Northern armies weave a path of destruction across the south, an embattled Confederacy launches a campaign of terror and inserrection from the British colonies. The raids will drive the colonies toward their own Canadian Confederation. Beyond the battlefield lies the shadowy world of conspiracy where soldiers, spies and lovers ride the shifting tides of conflict; a black female recruiter for the Union army, a Confederate agent, an aging mercenary, politicans who fear for the future and ordinary people draw by a cause, money or swept along by the distemper of the times. Based on actual events, A Porous Border is a sweeping drama of the turbulent era that changed North America.

The telegraph brought the news. First, General Lee's surrender followed by the shock of the Lincoln assassination and the last gasps of rebellion. But even as the American guns fell silent new danger emerged and in the British colonies of Canada, the fear and apprehension remained. Was the massive Union army poised for a drive north? Did John Wilkes Booth plan his kidnap/murder plot while in Montreal? Would southern refugees produce more unrest in the provinces? And what of the drive for a new Canadian Confederation? To Build a Northern Nation continues the story begun in A Porous Border (also available through Amazon and Kindle) and traces events on both sides of the border. Owen Wilson, a Union army veteran drifts into the Irish Fenian movement; Sillery Fraser is a former slave with a dangerous secret; and Paul Forsey, a government clerk, can see the threats facing a new country. Canadian leaders must again wrestle with issues beyond their control while America struggles to rebuild a divided union. To Build a Northern Nation is inspired by actual events.
