Penny's War

The Warren Commission insisted that JFK's assassination was the work of a lone gunman. But what if there had been another shooter involved? And what if that shooter had kept a journal that told the whole story from his own point of view? That's the premise of this novel--the story of how and why one of the gunmen came to be involved and what it took to have him there in Dallas in November of 1963. How he was initially recruited and trained to be part of the team conceived to assassinate Fidel Castro, only to have that project aborted at the last minute by the man who was to be his target in Dallas: President John F. Kennedy. This story is fiction. Many of the details reported herein never actually happened (though many did, of course--but then, that's one of the charms of historical novels: the blending of totally fabricated illusion with well-established fact).
