I love a great story, especially those born from history. Maybe that’s why I’m a voracious reader and movie buff. But while I’ve always enjoyed writing, I had no ambition to be an author. When our son Nate passed away in 2009, I began looking at life in a totally different way. It was the crucible of grief that ignited my passion to write about his life and to chronicle the lessons we learned from our experience. Writing was therapeutic. Now it is part of my DNA — an outlet for the stories that fill my mind. I hope you find these books thought-provoking and inspirational.

AVAILABLE NOW: To Trust in What We Cannot See
A Historical Science-fiction Blockbuster
By Dennis Mansfield
PURCHASE PRINTED BOOK PURCHASE eBOOK
“Dennis Mansfield’s newest book takes readers to an ethical dilemma in meeting Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Trotsky and Tito – all in one setting, all at one time – in 1913. Before they became tyrants, they were young men and neighbors – all in the same European city – though they did not know each other. Researched over two years in seven countries and the Holy Land, this is a historical science-fiction story of what did happen and what could have happened. Linking Brian Greene’s incredible work, The Elegant Universe, with Ulysses S. Grant’s Personal Memoirs seems an unlikely place to travel through spacetime dimensions – but with the help of well-researched history, physics and science, along with a vivid imagination, the story takes the reader to Vienna, Austria during the very cold month of January, 1913 to Cafe Central; a coffee shop where men with cold hearts are sipping hot drinks and planning their blood-lust futures.” – Amazon

Finding Malone
A Story of Tribute and Honor – Within A Broken Family
By Dennis Mansfield
PURCHASE PRINTED BOOK PURCHASE eBOOK
A single gift from a seemingly distant and unloving father sparked a journey of discovery. It was an inexpensive gift of an old WWI era army helmet. A helmet that saw action in WWII, not WWI. It was a doughboy US Army Helmet that held eyewitness secrets of the bloody sands of North Africa, the gritty landing of D-Day, the frozen Battle of the Bulge and the ultimate triumphant entry into Adolf Hitler’s Alpine Wolf’s Lair. A.J. Malone’s helmet was more than just a gift. It was the piece that tied Dennis together to his father. The piece that helped rekindle a relationship grown cold from years of neglect.
Finding Malone weaves together the tale of discovering who the helmet belonged to, and discovering the true nature of his father; the man who gave the gift to Dennis. This is the true and powerful story of a father and son overcoming unexpressed love, deep personal disappointment and ultimately hatred, through a single and unplanned-for magnificent act, anchored to honor – and the subsequent restored hope and fresh forgiveness that came as a result, healing their relationship and bringing them together as best friends for the last 19 years of the father’s life.
