My newest book, The Ghosts of Wolf Island Creek, is now available for purchase on Amazon.com.  This book was a unique experience in a few ways. First, the cover art was created by my talented husband, Mike.  I gave him a short synopsis of my book, which was barely in skeletal form at the time, and he spent the afternoon taking pictures and trying to capture the setting that existed only in my imagination.  Secondly, this is the first book that I’ve written that came almost exclusively from my own family history.  Although all of my historical books contain some element of my ancestors (who I obviously find fascinating!), in The Ghosts of Wolf Island Creek most of the characters were real people.  The Cantrell family (who I first mention in  Saved by Grace) really did have twenty-three children, all but two of them sons.  Little records exist of Gabriel Cantrell, so he seemed like a logical pick for my main character.  I was able to develop him into a fictional character without stepping on any toes of historical accuracy.  Finally, this book is different from my others in the characters themselves.  As I’ve mentioned before, I love flawed characters.  There’s nothing worth reading in perfection.  However, I have never developed a female character with as little gumption as Charlotte.  I have never developed a male character who was as much of an oddity as Gabriel.  I like them, though.  They are like those slightly off-beat friends that you don’t quite understand but you enjoy your time with them anyway.  Besides, they are perfect for each other.  I love a little literary match-making even if I have to bring two people from different centuries together.  I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
