A River Between Us, a new full-length Civil War novel, will release October 3, 2023!

Some of you may remember I'd written a novella by this title that was included in The Message in a Bottle Romance Collection, published in 2017. That collection has since gone out of print, so I was able to get the rights back to the story and give it the word count the story always deserved. 

A River Between Us is based on the true story of events that happened in Roswell, Georgia, starting in July 1864. It's the story of ordinary people just trying to find their way home in a world they no longer recognize. Here's the blurb: 

Cora Mae Stewart’s world collapses when Sherman destroys the Georgia cotton mill where she works and has her arrested for treason and sent North. Faced with impossible choices, she does what she must to keep a little girl safe in an unhospitable land.

Convinced he won’t survive the war, Union Sergeant Ethan Howard determines to make his death count for something. But Cora Mae gives him a reason to live. Trouble is, he’s just arrested her on Sherman’s orders, and torn her from home and family. 

Sergeant Howard is the last person Cora Mae wants to forgive, and the only man who can bring her all the way home.
