As an alt-history science-fiction author my love of research is essential to the quality of my stories. In my most recent book, Empires of Dirt, I write about what American history would be today if the lives of President Lincoln, JFK, MLK and RFK would have been saved from their assassins’ rounds. In the chapters on President Kennedy’s “attempted assassination” I detail the difficulty of how Oswald’s rifle, his sniper’s placement and much more could have been used to save JFK’s life. (Just yesterday for my birthday my brother Ken Mansfield gave me a gift of the 1939 version of Oswald’s weapon. The reality of my research on the bolt-action movement was amazing to see… in my hands).
