For the past year, I’ve had a Civil War novel in the works. My first, but hopefully not my last. Though I never dreamed of the many countless hours of research required to gain adequate knowledge of the era, I’m so enjoying the process.

 

EXCITING NEWS

Today, I get to share some exciting news regarding this novel project. Though the manuscript is still in the writing process, I’m thrilled to announce I’ve recently signed a contract with Scrivenings Press for publication of this, my fourth novel! So mark your calendars!  =)

Beyond These War-Torn Lands, is set to release August 3, 2021!

What a blessing from the Lord. May He alone receive the glory. It’s because of Him I write, and it’s ever my prayer that He will touch the hearts of readers through the spiritual truths woven within the stories He has entrusted me to write.

CIVIL WAR NOVEL RESEARCH

While my Prairie Sky Series required research of the time period, the majority of the storylines stemmed from my imagination. Beyond These War-Torn Lands, however, is steeped in actual historical events and personalities. Therefore, I’ve had loads of additional Civil War research to contend with.

Because I strive for historical accuracy on every page, I’ve had to ask lots of questions and research the smallest of details for this Civil War novel, such as:

How did soldiers salute and when?
What sort of insignia was used to designate soldier rank?
Was it rainy or sunny on a particular day?

These and hundreds of other questions slow the writing process, but are so vital in achieving a realistic story. And so intriguing! I often find myself so caught up in learning about the events of the times that I make little progress with my writing. LOL!

AN INSIDE GLIMPSE

A few months ago, I shared about the opening scene in the story at the Battle of Monocacy Junction. I hope you’ll take a moment to enjoy this glimpse into the upcoming novel.
