Alfred Woollacott, III retired from KPMG after a career spanning 34 years, choosing to reside full time at his summer residence on Martha's Vineyard. Being "45 minutes from America" and with a 50 - 60 hour per week void to fill, he began dabbling into his family history, which grew into an obsession as he published several genealogical summaries. But certain ancestors absorbed him and, he could not leave them. He researched further while evolving his writing skills from "just the facts ma'am" to a fascinating narrative style. Thus with imagination, anchored in fact and tempered with plausibility, a remote ancestor can achieve a robust life as envisioned by a writer with a few drops of his ancestor’s blood in his veins. His debut book in a planned trilogy is more than a historical novel, “The Immigrant” has many meaningful layers to savor and several historical puzzles to uncover. His second, "The Believers In The Crucible Nauvoo", weaves the momentous events -- Joseph Smith’s martyrdom and Brigham Young’s succession -- with Naamah’s story and offers differing perspectives to create a mosaic of Nauvoo, the crucible out of which arose today’s Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints. iFor more about Alfred Woollacott, III and his writings visit his website at http://www.myfourleggedstool.com/
