Local author Ric Wasley introduces his newest novel Candle in the Wind.  The work of historical fiction has earned high praise from authors like William Martin who says, “Here's your invitation to visit Civil War America, to go to the seat of war and the seat of domesticity as well, to know not only the fears of the soldier but the worries of the family he leaves behind. Once Candle in the Wind takes hold, you will not want to put it down. It's lively, evocative, and bursting with drama.”

Ric Wasley is a writer and lecturer as well as the author of the popular McCarthy Mystery Series set in Boston in 1968. Ric has a 40 year professional career history in advertising, publishing and marketing in Boston, New York and San Francisco.
