Coming soon…

I promised a sneak preview a couple weeks ago, and finally I have something to show you: an advance image of my second novel, “Nostalgia,” a novel about PTSD in the Civil War. Once again I have an ancestor to guide me. My great-great-great uncle. Dr. James Dana Benton, was a surgeon in the 111th New York Volunteers and my family–who saved everything!–kept all of the letters he wrote home during that time.

I’m only about 18,000 words in so far, so it may be pushing things but I hope to be ready to publish next summer. (Fingers crossed!)

“Bullets flew, cannon roared, but there was something much more insidious that stalked the battlefield and Jim had no idea how to treat it.“

“Nostalgia,” by Susannah Willey
