I have gotten a number of messages about the new novel.
Question 1 “Should I get the kindle or hard copy?” - If you do not want to wait the few days for shipping, get the kindle, nook, or ebook version. That way you get it in seconds and can start reading. If you find that you love the book then I suggest also getting a print copy as this book is fantastic looking as a hard copy. But really I know no one has gobs of money so if you wish to read my novel and save a few bucks by all means please save some money and grab the kindle.
Question 2 “Is it OK if I cosplay a charicter from this book?”- Yes! and if you do please please please send me photos as I would love to see what great things you have done and if you give me the OK I would also love to post them here and to my fan page and also sing your praises for being amazing and putting all the work and effort in to making a cosplay based on something I wrote. I have been blown away in the past 24 hours via the severl messages I have gotten from people asking this question. Its exteramly humbling to find out people like what you wrote that much that they want to make the effort to recreate it in real life.I also know the two wonderful artist who illustrated my novel would love to see this as well. So yes do it! and please make certain you send in photos so I can sing your prases for being so awsome.
Question 3, “Are there going to be other books?” - Yes , there will be this is the first of the series so if you enjoyed this book you have many more to look forward too.

As a young slave girl, Susie King Taylor secretly learned to read and write. Her skills proved invaluable to the Union Army as they began to form regiments of African American soldiers. Hired by the 1st South Carolina Colored Volunteers as a laundress in 1862, her primary roles were to nurse to wounded soldiers and to teach those who could not read or write. Taylor served for more than three years, working alongside her husband, Edward King, a sergeant in the regiment.
