I have new ebooks available of two of my books:
In Their Own Words: American Women in World War I presents first-person accounts by American women who
served in World War I. Combating restrictions on the duties they could
undertake, these women often faced discrimination, danger, and even
death in their desire to serve their country, the men in combat, and the
civilians suffering the effects of war. Their roles included ambulance
driver, canteen worker, clerk, entertainer, fingerprint expert,
librarian, nurse, physician, relief worker, reporter, stenographer, and
switchboard operator. Cover design by Karen Jackson.
• No Man's Land and Other Stories is a collection of my (mostly historical) mystery short stories (although it does include an affectionate pastiche of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson). It includes "No Man's Land" (Agatha winner, Macavity nominee) and "Keeper
of the Flame" (first-prize winner, 2003 Cape Fear Crime Festival Short
Story Contest). Settings range from the Civil War and the
Titanic to
World War I and the 1918 flu pandemic, including figures such as
Dorothea Dix, Alice Roosevelt Longworth, and Oscar Wilde. Cover design by Karen Jackson.
