About the Author

A native North Carolinian who now lives abroad, T. Davis Bunn was recognized internationally as a consultant, lecturer, and speaker in the area of international finance and received invitations to address symposiums, conferences, and management meetings. His professional interests took a decided turn nearly eighteen years ago. Although he continued his career in international finance, he became a "closet" novelist. For nine years, he wrote with discipline and drive, never to have anything published. When one of his novels came to the attention of Bethany House Publishers, his status as an unpublished novelist changed. His first book, The Presence, was published in 1990 and quickly became a bestseller.

A prolific writer, he now has over twenty books in publication, including three with Janette Oke, a wonderful children's picture book called Princess Bella and the Red Velvet Hat, the heartwarming gift book The Quilt, and his latest, The Dream Voyagers, originally published under the pen name Thomas Locke.

"The novels I've had published by Bethany House are the direction I hope my future writing will take--captivating stories of intrigue, drama and faith, with compelling characters in an enjoyable contemporary fictional setting," says Bunn. "The emotional bonding that occurs with the reader in good fiction often gives the Christian message more direct meaning in the reader's life."

Prior to his work in international finance, Davis completed studies in psychology and economics at Wake Forest University. Fluent in three languages, he has traveled extensively in more than forty countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Davis has also avocationally become a serious student of comparative religion, learning from Jewish rabbis, Buddhist monks, Muslim imams, Catholic priests, and Baptist ministers. Drawing on these experiences, Davis fills his books with colorful dialogue and richly textured settings.

3.0 out of 5 stars It was interesting but not fantastic., Jun 3 2000
By "princessanna" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
I liked it actually. It had an interesting plot, and I loved the character development. Captain Jake Burnes, a bitter, battle-weary American captain, is issued to war-ravaged Germany right after the end of WWII. He makes friends with a French officer and a beautiful diplomat...and with Germany's war orphans. A rumor of Nazi treasure spreads around the military base, and certain people thought to be allies turn out to be dangerous enemies. Jake, struck by the desperation of the widows and orphans the war has left, tries to help them, and it ends up being a life-changing experience for him. Rhineland Inheritance wasn't the most exciting or best written book I've ever read...some parts were flat and dull. But then other parts were exciting and suspenseful...so I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series anyway.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good story for the right audience, but not a page turner., Mar 15 1998
By A Customer
As an adult, I found the writing style
somewhat stilted and forced. I was reading
the book before placing it in a private school
library. The target audience of 11-14 year
old students will probably enjoy the story;
girls more than boys. The story focuses on a
young Army captain stationed in Germany at the
end of WWII. He is touched by the desperate,
displaced people trying to survive without
proper shelter or food. He also is involved
in a search for hidden Nazi treasure. This is
a good mystery story with enough romance to
keep the target audience reading. Be aware
that there are strong religious undertones
throughout the story. While that is more than
appropriate for my Christian school, others
might not care for that aspect of the story.
