In 2012, he published Brier Creek, a guide to the history and legend of a Revolutionary War battlefield and related sites near the Savannah River. A revised, illustrated edition of the Brier Creek guidebook is coming soon. Realizing that Blood on the Marsh contains too many pages for most people to read, he extracted a shorter, more focused book from it. Mr. McIntosh's Family, published in 2014, tells about the Mackintosh clan and the McIntosh family in the Jacobite Risings, the settlement of Darien, Georgia, and the struggle for the colonial American southern frontier. A book depicting the intertwining lives of General Lachlan McIntosh of Georgia and Captain Aeneas Mackintosh of Scotland during the American Revolution is in the planning stage.
