Pub Date

I finally have a pub date for my new literary-historical novel. Gettysburg by Morning will officially be released by Addison and Highsmith on November 2, 2021. Pre-sales available on the usual platforms. Here's the pitch... There are over two hundred documented cases of women dressing as men to fight in the Civil War. Gettysburg by Morning places you on the battlefield and behind the scenes with George Custer, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Mary Todd Lincoln, and Abraham Lincoln, as a patriotic young woman fights arm-in-arm with her fellow soldiers.
