On my books...

"I research, write and self-publish each title that I complete in limited quantity and sell my books directly to the public. I use secondary sources only when necessary; I prefer using primary sources that have never been published before which make my published works unique."

"I want you to know that I am glad for the attention you have given Mississippi troops in the Civil War-Especially the 6th Miss. which has ever held a special place in my heart."

-Shelby Foote
