His interest came from a stack of old American History Illustrated and Civil War Times Illustrated that were given to him by an uncle who was a history teacher. From there, a whole new world opened up for him. Mr. Waites love for history has included over the years model building, reenacting, and eventually writing. The Red Cavalier is Mr. Waites first book and what started out as a hobby is now a published work. Mr. Waite is a World War Two reenactor and is a member of TSG also known as Tactical Studies Group at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. His professional background has been in teaching, real estate, and insurance. He resides in Ridgetop, Tennessee close to the spot where John Hunt Morgan camped in 1862. He and his wife Leah have three children.view less
