Thanks for stopping by my site.

My middle-grade historical fiction book, Finding My Place, has been accepted for publication by White Mane Kids. I’m excited to tell the story of the Siege of Vicksburg and the strength of Vicksburg’s citizens while the two armies fought near their homes for most of the summer in 1863.

Here’s some info about the book:

Finding My Place is the story of 13-year-old Anna Green and her family’s struggles throughout the Siege of Vicksburg (Mississippi) in 1863 during the War Between the States. Anna lives in caves, eats rats, works in an army hospital, experiences her first love, and strives to keep her family together through this horrible battle. Anna learns where she belongs in more ways than one while Grant’s cannons shoot over Vicksburg day and night, causing misery and grief for Vicksburg’s citizens.
