A World Of My Own by Terrence McCauley

Award-winning author Terrence McCauley returns to the site today. McCauley’s first two novels, Prohibition and Slow Burn, were set in 1930s New York City. He shifted gears with The Devil Dogs of Belleau Wood, a novella set during World War I, before charging hard into his current University series featuring James Hicks. The University is not an institution of higher learning, but rather a clandestine intelligence organization that has been on the frontlines of global espionage for decades. The latest in the series, A Conspiracy of Ravens, is out now. →

For as long as Van Dorn can remember, those words, which represented his father’s worldview, were drilled into him at every opportunity.
