Just ordered all of these from the bookstore of the Historical Novel Society. Lots of historic fiction, natch!, but a couple of how-tos, too. I can’t wait to dig in. Maybe I got a little crazy when I went to the bookstore during the Historical Novel Society but I’d “met” all these great writers and…
Give me horses any day. Ranches and towns in the middle of the great western landscape. A beautiful, strong woman. And a sexy, gorgeous outsider to fall in love with.
Then have Beverly Jenkins write it.
Imagine my delight this morning when I discovered my Civil War novel is ranked 20 on an Amazon bestseller list. That bright orange bar proclaiming #20 made my day. Last week during Amazon Prime Days DIVIDED LOYALTIES was specially priced—and I guess that’s what prompted the attention. And the sales. Either way I’m happy to…
This weekend, Nov. 1-3, booklovers will gather at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor to snatch up some new books and book-related stuff and—my favorite part—to see and listen to lots of authors writing lots of great books.

Divided Loyalties, my Civil War-era saga of an Irish teen who volunteers to serve the men wounded after the Battle of Antietam, will be officially re-released in paperback July 1 with a brand new cover. I am delighted to introduce it now. It is very different from the original cover, darker but softer, I think.…
I have joined the most awesome group of writers. We’ve formed a Facebook page, Off the Beaten Path Historical Stories, designed for readers so we can share what we’re writing, researching, studying and reading. And so we can get to know those people we love almost as much as our own family. Our readers. We are…
I love the Baltimore Book Festival. I buy too many books to carry and meet authors I LOVE. Now that I have a book of my very own published, I get to meet people who have read my book or who want to read it. It’s humbling and so exciting. This year, I’ll be at…
