My background is in journalism, but I have been dabbling with writing fiction for the past 20 years. Shades of Gray is my debut novel and is being well received by Civil War historians,other authors, and romance lovers. As a resident of Gettysburg, Pa., I am surrounded by history, and frequent trips to Virginia keep my creative juices flowing.

"Re-enactors, historians, and followers of The War for Southern Independence will love this novel! It is fast moving and holds the reader's interest from cover to cover."
Review by David Wright, Past Commander, Dearing-Beauregard Camp 1813 Sons of Confederate Veterans

Reviews for Shades of Gray have appeared in Foreword Magazine and Book Review Journal. Future reviews are planned for Historical Novel Society, Civil War Book Review, Confederate Veteran, Reader Views, Myself, Heartland, and Midwest Book Reviews.
