Thanks for visiting my writing Web site.

Writing history, especially overlooked eras like the Gilded Age or the post-World War I Red Scare, has been a passion of mine for almost two decades. I hope my Web site will give you the chance to share it.

Visit any of my books, articles, podcasts and other scribbles, learn about upcoming events and see the latest media. Please send me a note, take a look at my Blog,Viral History, to get my latest slant on the world, or visit my new publishing house, Viral History Press LLC.  

When not writing, I practice law at OFW Law, Washington's D.C.'s premier firm for agriculture, food and drug, medical devices, FDA, and health care, providing Creative Solutions to Difficult Problems.  Contract me there at kackerman@ofwlaw.com

Hope you enjoy your visit, and come back soon.  All the Best,   --KenA.
