Hello. I am the author of the Historical Fiction novel called Mamie Garrison. It is a tale of slavery, abolition, romance and history, set in the years just prior to the Civil War. It is available on Kindle for .99 and on Kindle Unlimited; also in paperback.
Mamie Garrison has a dual storyline. The present day story involves Bella and Andrew finding Mamie's journals. Their story includes romance and paranormal aspects. Mamie's story follows her adventures as an abolitionist through her journals. There are some mysteries as well as an unusual background in Mamie's life.
I have completed book two in my series. Colin Garrison, Book 2 of The Garrisons is available at Amazon.com/dp/B0759MYN81. Please see my Colin Garrison page under the menu option for a small sample of this new book.
I am 60 and married with one adult child and one grandchild.
I have always enjoyed the written word and have been a voracious reader from my early youth.
I am inspired by many authors in the historical fiction genre. I am also a lover of Russian literature, particularly Tolstoy and Doestoyefsky. I find great inspiration for creating characters by looking at the ones these two authors have created. There is such a depth to them.
I have written for most of my life in one form or another. I have dabbled in poetry and songwriting, and have more started novels than finished ones.
In my free time, I like reading, history and travel. I am interested in genealogy and working on my family tree.
I live in the Midwest United States with my husband, Chris and my dog, Max.
Yes!! I agree! Good post

Since minimalist decoration came into vogue, bookcases seem to have fallen out of favour. I’m the same when entering a house, my eyes desperately trying to locate a bookcase, as if that will anchor me. Once I’ve found one I’ll gravitate towards it as quickly as possible, skimming through the titles. I’ve got bookcases in every room except the bathroom – although I tried that once only to discover mouldy books.

Doesn’t everyone do this? Ha! I can’t imagine not being surrounded by books.

I agree with you! And if you were to journey into our house, you would find over 17 bookshelves! I still don’t have enough.
