I'm very excited to share the cover for my current work in progress, and I must say that once again, Jody Christian has done a wonderful job!

I know it's been a month since my last blog post, but although I've been silent, I've been busy! In addition to consulting with Jody on the cover art, I've been pouring hours into research, including a visit to Petersburg, Virginia for on-site study. 

I'm pleased to announce that I've completed up to chapter twenty-four of the rough draft, and I think I can easily say that I'm on target for a Spring release date.

Another project which has consumed quite a bit of my time is the back cover synopsis. Always such a challenge to compress the story line of a three hundred page novel into a few short but intriguing sentences!

It's subject to change, of course, but here's what I have:

FOR THE CAUSE OF FREEDOM
MY BROTHER'S FLAG ~ BOOK 2


On Maryland’s Eastern Shore, the division of the Civil War is an inescapable reality for many households. For the Turner brothers, it means choosing politics over blood. At the outbreak of the war, Charlie enlisted in the Confederate Army to defend States Rights, while his older brother chose to fight for the Union. Three years later, an emaciated prisoner of war, Charlie is determined to escape Point Lookout Prison and make his way home to face the conflict awaiting him there.


When Abigail Sterret discovers a wounded man near her home, she is moved by compassion at the sight of the gaunt Rebel soldier. Risking the consequences of aiding the enemy, Abigail shelters Charlie at Bloomingdale and nurtures him back to health. As his wounds heal, she discovers that Charlie carries more secrets than she supposed, and Abigail is more involved than she presumed.

And though war may end with the sweep of a pen, peace comes far less easily.

And if you're looking for something to do this weekend, snowed in with nowhere to go, consider reading the first book in the series, ON GROUNDS OF HONOR. Available at Amazon.com, Kindle, and Nook. And please don't forget to leave a review!
