I am a new author of six books about the Civil War. I have already been recognized in four national book award competitions as a finalist including two for Best Book of the Year and two for the Indie Excellence Awards. The U.S. Colored Troops at Andersonville Prison is a non-fiction book that was published in early 2010. The book I edited "The Life of Abraham Lincoln: As President" was written by Ward Hill Lamon, Lincoln's personal bodyguard in 1880 and never before published. My newest book is a historical fiction account of the lives of Wesley and William Culp, Jack Skelly and Virginia Wade, all of Gettysburg called "A House Divided Against Itself". My other three books are historical fiction and include "The Perfect Steel Trap Harpers Ferry 1859", "Catesby: Eyewitness to the Civil War" and "The Virginian Who Might Have Saved Lincoln".
