First Signing - July 19 at Panera Bread in Trinity

Rachel, After the Darkness
went live just two weeks ago on June 16, 2014,
and I now have readers in nine states. I get hits on
my blog from all over the world. If you are out there,
and you're reading my books, please let me know at
this blog. I would love to hear from you.
___________________________________________________________

I will launch RACHEL with the first signing
at Panera Bread in Trinity, Florida, on
Saturday, July 19, 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
I look forward to seeing all my local friends
for coffee and for celebrating the publication of
my fourth Novel of the Old South.
If you are close by on that morning, please come
see us. Colonel Andrew Domarasky will be signing
with me, so you will meet him and some other
folks you may not know. I always look forward
to my first signing. Joint Venture and General Manager
Tim Curlee generously allows me to have it at Trinity Panera.
He said, "You write it here. You should always have your first
signing here." Now, that's special to me.


I will be announcing my Mississippi and Tennessee signing
tour soon, attempting to get it all scheduled in one month's
timeframe. I will post as soon as I have that completed. I
have some new places to visit to take my story of the
Payne Family of Sarepta, Mississippi, the war years
and Reconstruction and the aftermath of a most
devastating time in American History.

I hope you will take a moment and send me a note.
Also you can order my books from the publisher, iUniverse,
or just click here for Barnes and Noble and Amazon, or google
my pen name for any other online bookstore the world over.


See you at Panera!

Trinity, FL

It was dead of winter...

My inspiration came the day I visited Isaac's house in Slate Springs, Mississippi in 2007. It was dead of winter and, at the time, I was writing The Mississippi Boys , the manuscript almost finished. I gave my new book its title that day— Isaac's House . It had been hard for me to say goodbye to The Mississippi Boys , and it was settled, I didn't have to. I would write Isaac's House , and behind it, Joab . These are my people. Not the Paynes, for they are my fictional family. But the Clarks—T.G., Jonathan, Albert Henry, Isaac, Joab and Samuel Clark. T.G., Jonathan, and Albert Henry all died in the Battle of Gettysburg. Isaac joined the Confederate Army when he came of age and fought until the war ended. I'm still learning about Joab, and Samuel was my great-grandfather, only two years old when his father and brothers went to war. I returned to Isaac's house in Slate Springs in July 2009. Standing on the old front porch that day, thoughts of this man—a Confe...

March 26, 1998. Mississippi . "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Perfect verse for today. Daddy is in the presence of the Lord. We buried him today under blue skies. After all was said and done, we—the children, Mother, and our extended families—sang over Daddy's grave, as we picked flowers for ourselves, a constant reminder of the resurrection of the body. We would see him again. A thousand images of Daddy raced through my mind. He was a giant of a man. A prince, loving, carring. A hard worker, but never a slave to anything or anyone but the Lord and his family. He had no enemies. His presence filled a room. His laughter was contagious. His compassion, unsurpassed. The sting of death did not touch him, though it left us aching inside. From HOUSE NOT MADE WITH HANDS, published 2007.

"Sense of Place" I was elated when I learned I would be getting an endorsement for JOAB.  JACK LAMAR MAYFIELD, OXFORD, MS  I met Jack Lamar Mayfield last year in Oxford, Mississippi. My friend from high school days, Emmie Lou Mooney Greene, a prominent Oxonian herself, introduced me to him and we spent several hours getting a grand tour from an historical perspective. I fell in love with the beautiful university town situated in the rolling hill country of northeast Mississippi. Of course, I had been to Oxford many times, but never having known such things as Jack Mayfield shared that day. Jackie, as known by his friends, is a fifth generation Oxonian. His family came to Oxford shortly after the Chickasaw Cession of 1832. He is a former history instructor and writes a weekly column for the local newspaper The Oxford Eagle . His column is entitled "Sense of Place" and is solely about the history of Oxford and Ole Miss. He is the author of a book ...
