Many an aspiring short story writer or novelist has dreamed of
putting to paper a romantic tale to rival at least come near to
the quintessential civil war novel Gone with the Wind. Romance,
treachery, occupation and struggle were the overt messages from
Margaret Mitchell's best seller. But few have a grasp on the
depth of research needed to even build a storyline to equal
Mitchell's. As a Historian and fiction writer I've put together
my own knowledge and research into the American civil War ...Read the rest of this entry »

articles on the holidays. I wanted to write an article on
"Thanksgiving". Thinking to myself "you can do it, go ahead",
