I am in the middle of writing a Civil War Trilogy about the war experiences of an underage Union soldier from Ohio, Stanley Mitchell. The first book, Until Shiloh Comes, was released this spring (2015). Stanley has a close call with death at Shiloh and is taken into the home of a Southern war widow where he is nursed back to health. It is on this Tennessee farm that Stanley discovers the many facets of love for the first time in his life.
The second book is about half written. It deals with Stanley's experiences in and around Vicksburg, MS, before, during, and after the siege of 1863. His fondest wish is to return to the farm in Tennessee, but as historical events unfold around him, he becomes convinced that he must return to the Union army and fulfill the duty he volunteered for. I hope to release this book next spring.
The third book will take Stanley to Georgia with Sherman's army during the Atlanta Campaign. Not yet eighteen years of age, Stanley will end up a prisoner at Andersonville with little hope of ever returning to the farm near Shiloh, Tennessee.
