About this author

Haley Whitehall has been obsessed with telling stories since the age of four. Her addiction to the Civil War era came later, but proved no less potent. She earned her B.A in history from Central Washington University. Pairing her two passions, she writes historical fiction with a touch of faith. She gives a voice to the underdog with her cats supervising. Mark Twain serves as her writing mentor. Haley loves coffee a little too much–perhaps that is why she is a night owl. A good book and a view of the mountains make her pretty happy, too. She blogs at HaleyWhitehall.com or follow her on Twitter @HaleyWhitehall.

She is the author of Living Half Free and Grits and Glory (Expanding Horizons Press 2012).

Middle Passage by Charles R. Johnson
" I liked it quite a bit. I'm not sure what to do with the narrative voice, though. It's, at times, wildly anachronistic and, frankly, unrealistic. This is all the more strange because Johnson is writing into a literary legacy that has a very partic... " Read more of this review »
