Book Description
This is an inspirational saga of the first Greek-American to win the Medal of Honor. George Dilboy fought in four wars on three continents by age twenty-two. He was an immigrant who became a U.S. citizen and a doughboy in World War One. He might have been America’s Winston Churchill. There has never been a book written about his incredible life until now. Five stories in one, his love for his father, family, country and fiance propelled this hero into becoming a man for the ages. This is not a happy story, but is one you will never forget.

Book Description
In Georgie, Angel of Cell-Block Six, the author recounts the astonishing story of her mothers little brother, a nine-year-old child in a wheelchair, possessed of an amazing voice. Georgie sang all over St. Louis, at church and at concerts, private gatherings, in salons, and at the Cardinals games, where his counter-tenor voice filled the ball park. His success led him to an explosive situation as witness to a shooting in a lid club and his eventual role as the sole child whose testimony sent adult criminals to prison. The novel is based not only on the family story but on the St. Louis Post-Dispatchs numerous stories and front page photos of Georgie and his unusual fate.

Book Description
The Bellamy Mansion in Wilmington, North Carolina, is the setting of Tragic Souls of Love and War in the pre-Civil War era, during the Civil War, and after the war. The story is heavily based on facts of four strong women: Sarah Sampson, the Bellamy family’s slave cook; Belle Bellamy, the oldest Bellamy daughter; Mrs. Eliza Bellamy, the wife of Dr. John Bellamy; and Harriet Foote Hawley, the wife of Union general Joseph Roswell Hawley. She was an abolitionist and a first cousin of Harriet Beecher Stowe. The mix of these four women and the fictional and extraordinarily charismatic Braxton Scott twist into a story that captures the loves and sorrows of a tragic time in our history that resembles the classic Gone with the Wind and reminds us of the sad reality of inequality that still exists today.
