This was my first attempt at writing. "Forget Me Not" is the love story of Letitia Jared and Thomas Lynch, my 3rd g-grandparents. The cover picture is believed to be taken shortly after they married in 1865. On the back cover page is a picture that has been restored and colorized to give better detail as to what Letitia looked like when she was nearly 18.



Here is a little about the book:


In the early 1860's, the Civil War took a toll on the nation and on many families. Pitting many a brother against brother, father agains son, causing scars that would run deep for many generations.

For Letitia Jared, the War would prove to changer her life forever. Just as she thought life couldn't be any more complicated, in walks a handsome stranger that would change her life forever.

For Thomas Lynch, life hadn't been grand. Losing both parents at an early age, he lived with family until he decided to enlist. Just as he thought life couldn't be anymore complicated, in walks a family that would change his life forever.

This is the latest and the first in a series! Many, MANY thanks to Kirstie Atteberry Johnson for designing and drawing the cover. Here is a little something on the book:

The Baker family arrived in Kentucky full of dreams and hopes for a better life than what they had in Virginia. One fateful day, Ella and her brother Samuel witnessed an event that would forever change their lives and close the chapter of her family's dreams. Or so they thought.

Decades later, Ella married James Gray and had a family of her own. Alone in the belief, she still held on to the hope that her brother, Benjamin, survivied the tragedy that took her family. On day, a stranger appears in town who not only has a mystery, but holds the hey to all of Ella's questions about her borther and what happened to him.

Kate Gray pursues her calling in life as a teacher but also finds the one who would be the love of her life. Which will she choose? Will she choose the desire of becoming a teacher? Or the desire of becoming a wife to William Miller.

William's father, Edward Miller, only sees William learning the family hotel business so as to take it over one day. Believing Kate Gray is a threat and an undesirable for his son, Edward realizes he must do what he has to in order to keep them apart and the family business remain within the Miller family.

As the annual Supper Basket Social winds down, storms appear on the horizon for Ella, Kate, and William. Some will survive while others fall. Will tragedy strike once again, or will there finally be triumph in the end.

The Time Has Arrived

Hey there everybody....

Well, the time has finally arrived to where I need to get my own page up and running. It was hard passing on the online purchasing address for my books, so I decided to create a blog. It'll help me provide the links regarding my past books, and any future ones to be written, that someone might want to buy through my publisher.

This is in it's infancy stage, so I'm hoping to get all the kinks worked out and the page set up nicely.... as well as in a format that is easy to use for everyone!

I'm hoping to provide "buttons" which would send you straight to the individual book you might wish to purchase. They should be on the sidebar, but keep a look out. I'll let you know when they are up and running!

Have fun!
