Dear Ms West, I actually read this series a few years ago but with the Kentucky Derby coming up, I felt it was the perfect time to pull it out for a refresher. I’ve read tons of books set during the Civil War but precious few set during Reconstruction. This is about how the South(…)

Dear Mrs. Feather, When I open one of your older books, I know I’m probably going to be treated to something different. Something I probably won’t get from a more recently written novel. “Bold Destiny” doesn’t disappoint. Kabul, Afghanistan in 1841/42 is definitely not where a British person wanted to be. The conditions were perfectly(…)

Dear Mrs. Cummings, I read your novel “My Rebel Belle” (TBH, I still cringe at that title) and quickly bought the rest of your published books. I had a feeling that “An Affair of Honor” might tie in with it and indeed it does, telling the story of the US Civil War from the Northern(…)

So far, I’ve read two but am saving the(…)

And that these women won’t be doing silly things like swinging broadswords while in full suits of chain mail. “Taking Liberties” gives us two female lead characters and a unique(…)

Dear Mrs. Norman, Some reviews might lead readers to think this book is dry, historical fiction. But I feel those reviewers would be doing readers a disservice. These characters came alive for me. The times and places seemed real. Your descriptions are so deft that for a day I was back in the 18th century(…)

Dear Mrs. Cummings, I had read a recommendation for your US Civil War novel, My Rebel Belle, but to be honest I was put off by the price being charged by Amber Quill Press ($7.00) combined with the paltry excerpt available at their site. I realize that neither of these issues are your fault but(…)
