Widow Launches!
Well, today is the official release day of Widow of Gettysburg! I'm so excited for people to read the story I poured my heart into over the last several months. Twenty-four hundred residents inhabited the borough of Gettysburg in 1863 when 163,000 men and 15,000 animals converged upon it for the three-day battle in July. Some fled to protect themselves and their property, while many--most of them women and children--were caught in the crossfire. Surviving the battle was only the beginning. While most history books follow the armies on their journeys away from Gettysburg when the battle receded, Widow of Gettysburg keeps the focus on the aftermath being played out in the town. Women of Gettysburg did not ask for the distinction, but many became heroines behind the lines just the same. Widow of Gettysburg is the story of their resilience. In the words of Gettysburg housewife Sarah Broadhead, "We do not know until tried what we are capable of." If you haven't seen the book trailer yet, take 75 seconds to do so below.
Cover Story!
I'm honored to be the "cover girl" for Christian Fiction Online Magazine this month, and hope you'll take a moment to read Kim Ford's interview with me. She did a great job asking really thoughtful questions, and, as a journalist myself, I really appreciate her!

For a limited time, Widow of Gettysburg is free as an ebook at Amazon, BN.com, and ChristianBook.com! Widow of Gettysburg is Book 2 in the Heroines Behind the Lines series. Be sure to read Book 1, Wedded to War, first for maximum enjoyment.
