It's a book called "His Yankee Wife", and it's 5 years old today.
Sometimes, it surprises me when I look back on writing a book, because during the 3 years of writing and researching, I practically lived in Kentucky and Tennessee during the American Civil War. I immersed myself in the culture, read diaries of those who lived on Shiloh Battle Field during the war, listened to music from the time period, and drove my family a little crazy. LOL I even went to a reenactment of the battle at Carnifex Ferry.
Once in a while I come across one of the songs I purchased for research sake, and I just have to shake my head. Maybe I drove myself a little crazy. :)
But I cannot deny the fact that it all helped to create a story. The book is about 400 and some pages, and I think it is one of my best. But maybe all authors say that about their Babies.
If you have read "His Yankee Wife" let's talk about it. Did you enjoy the fact that I included persons with disabilities or did it surprise you? What did you think of Dixie? Could you hear those cannons thundering across the field?
To those who have not read it, have I caught your interest yet?
Sure I have. :) Go and check it out on Amazon. I dare ya.
