Last Saturday, I took part in a Women’s History Month event at the Boonsboro Library. While my two fellow panelists are real historians—John Banks writes a great Civil War blog, and Emilie Amt is a professor of history at Hood College—I was invited because of DIVIDED LOYALTIES. The program was organized by Smoketown-Antietam Hospital Project. It…

This year, I’ll also be going as a new novelist. I’m going to sign my book…
A fellow author, Irene Frances Olson, recently asked on her website: If a book doesn’t have any reviews on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other booksellers’ sites, does it really exist? As anyone who has held DIVIDED LOYALTIES in his or her hands — and I thank all of you from the bottom of my…
