152nd anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg - The Alternative Version of the Battle

152nd anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg July 1-3, 2015

July 1st marks the 152nd anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. For three bloody days the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia fought the Federal Army of the Potomac in Gettysburg in what is the most important military engagement ever fought in North America.

What most people don’t know is just how close the Confederates came to winning this pivotal engagement. The North won the battle and ultimately the South lost the war.

But what would have happened if things had gone differently during that famous battle??

To discover one alternative possibility try reading:

I'm requesting input from fans of the series- REBEL EMPIRE

Not long after I completed “FOR THE GOOD OF THE CONFEDERACY” the third book in my alternative history series REBEL EMPIRE a fan and friend pointed out to me that they were unsatisfied with the conclusions of several of my characters in the series. They wanted to know more about these characters.

Quite frankly I had decided to leave the realm of Rebel Empire alone after the third novel but my friend got me to thinking and I realized that I needed to write a fourth book in the series and use the opportunity to tell some additional stories about my characters. These would be stories regarding characters that I either glossed over or perhaps needed additional fleshing out. Call it a second life for these characters.

Therefore, I have decided to write a new anthology novel where I will tell some additional tales in these characters history.  In some cases these will be real life historical figures or fictitious characters of my own creation that appeared in:

  1.      GETTYSBURG REDUX
  2.     REBELS & DESPERADOS
  3.      FOR THE GOOD OF THE CONFEDERACY


So I’d like to offer my readers the chance to have input to this fourth novel - CONFEDERATE KNIGHTS.

 I have to assume that considering the many thousands of views this blog receives some of the fans of REBEL EMPIRE are stopping by to see what I’m currently working on.
If you wish to contact me with a character request please either leave a comment to the blog -or email me directly at:



No promises, but I’ll do my best to make anyone that suggests a character - happy.
