My novel The Cross on Cotton Creek is out on 4/30. It's a Civil War tale that proves faith in something is more valuable than faith in nothing.
Can a man's faith make a difference? Can a man's word shape the future? The Cross on Cotton Creek, a novel that tells the tale of soldiers caught in the backwash of Sherman's March to the Sea, answers those questions with an empathic YES?
Wounded soldiers Dawes and McKenney are sheltered and nursed to health by a minister as a virual Armageddon sweeps around them. Read how the sacrifices made by the soldiers and those hiding them consecrate the church grounds where they were sheltered. The old church becomes a place where miracles occur and prayers are answered. See how their devotion to their word and faith leaves a legacy to future generations of their families and all those that visit The Cross.
When you're done reading you are sure to want to help paint The Cross on Cotton Creek.
Excerpt
At the start of The Cross on Cotton Creek a confederate soldier and an officer find shelter in a small country church as Sherman marches to the sea. Trapped behind enemy lines, injured and helpless to move on, they accept the kindness of the minister and his “family” that cares for them. It’s not long before they realize that a bounty has been placed on all confederates’ heads and that some members on the community are desperate to cash in.
Can wounds heal quickly enough and plans be laid soundly enough for them to escape before their protectors become victims for harboring them?
Four generations later, descendants gather on a once every five-year pilgrimage to paint the cross that remains over the church ruins. What events were powerful enough to secure a family’s commitment for a hundred years? Will these descendants, after learning from the locals of the miracles delivered and prayers answered on this site, believe enough to continue the tradition?
