Announcing the Name for Civil War novel “Beyond the Wood” Sequel
Thanks for you gave on the proposed name for the sequel to Civil War novel Beyond the Wood. Your opinions were unanimously positive about the book title, so we’ll stick with it. We received great guidance on the planned order of the subtitles and have changed the order based on that guidance.
So the final (as final as it can be till publication day) title for the second Beyond the Wood Series Civil War novel is:
A River Divides
Quiet Interlude
Book Two: Beyond the Wood Series
Status of the Sequel
We’re running behind in publishing A River Divides. Our plan was that it would be out before the end of March, but it will be a bit later. We’ll let you know as soon as we have a solid release date.
Thanks for your patience and your support.
What to Expect
Because of the short time period covered in the book, you will see little actual Civil War fighting in the sequel, but you will continue to see suspicion, intrigue and romance. You’ll get a peek at Richmond and Washington City during the war, and the book will visit the crucial border state of Kentucky. Reaction from those who have read it is that A River Divides is even more of a pager-turner than Beyond the Wood.
You’ll see Betsy and Hank from Beyond the Wood in the sequel, as well as several other characters from the first book. You’ll meet a number of new characters–some of whom are likable, some less so.
A River Divides touches on Kentucky’s Camp Nelson. You can expect the camp’s history as a major recruitment and training center for African-American soldiers to play a larger role in the third book. We visited Camp Nelson in 2011 as we were doing research.
