Robert Lee Davies developed a passion for the retelling of history with a revisionist approach during his academic career.  His desire to tell  "the other side of the story"  led to his desire to write Historical Fiction.  His first novel,  Like Lambs Sent to Their Slaughter,  is product of the author's desire and ability to make history come to life in an interesting, entertaining, and - most importantly - an honest sort of way.

The author also possesses a passion for popular literature from the 1930s-1960s.  It is through revisiting the literature of those decades, he suggests, that historians are able to flesh out the key components of North American culture.  While novels by authors such as Bessie Breuer from the 1930s are testimony to what it must have been like to live during the Great Depression, pocketbooks by authors such as Mickey Spillaine speak of the Cold War rhetoric of the 1960s.  Although it has not been until recent that historians have begun to consider such sources as secondary - and sometimes even primary - evidence, popular literature written throughout the 20th Century is quickly advancing to the forefront of what is considered to be of historical significance.
