Civil War Facts
Most young men who volunteered at the start of
the war, did so because they saw it as a chance
for adventure and escape from their boring lives
working on farms and in factories. The initial
recruitment at the start of the war was for only
three months service, since the war wasn't
expected to last beyond a few months.

Civil War Nurses
Nursing was not a profession for women at the start
of the Civil War. The growing numbers of casualties
as the war dragged on is what brought women
volunteers into the hospitals, camps and onto
battlefields.

Excerpt
Alexandra rose from the cave where she'd slept and stretched luxuriously. The moon beckoned, a pale,
silver glow. He awaited her.
Her mind called out to him. Dimiti.
And he answered her. Alexandra, my lyubof, come to me.
Erin's Rebel
Time Travel Romance
Excerpt
The sound of her name on his lips made her skin tingle. She tore the paper
off the package. At the sight of the brooch, her breath caught.
"Do you like it?" he asked anxiously. "I had it made just for you."
Eyeing him, she had a hard time finding her voice. This was Erin O'Connell's
brooch, the very one that had sent her back in time. It shone in her hands,
new and unworn from time and wear.
What did this mean? She must be following Erin O'Connell's footsteps. As far
as she knew, her being here hadn't changed anything. Will was still
destined to die this year.
"I didn't mean to upset you, Erin. If you don't like the brooch-"
"No." She clasped the pin against her chest as the meaning of his gift sank
in. "It just means so much to me."

A chill raced down her spine as she thought of her lost love. How could it be him? Was it possible for the
soul to be reborn in a different body? Her mere existence proved stranger things possible. Was she
deluding herself? The young American couldn't possibly be Dimitri. But she'd felt his presence since the
first time she'd come upon Caleb guarding the outposts of the Rebel camp. She watched him from the
shadows, his body taut, on alert. He stared at her, then lowered his gun and reached for her.
She moved toward him, a question in her eyes.
"Dimitri, my Dimitri," she murmured into his ear. Their lips met. She took his mouth greedily. Memories of
Dimitri lying beside her, his body entwined with hers, sent her passion soaring. She slid her lips along
his throat.

His look of concern softened into a lopsided grin. "I'm happy you feel that way."
"Thank you, Will." She slipped the brooch into the pocket of her wrapper, then stood on her toes lifting
her arms to circle his neck. She kissed his cheek, inhaling his musky scent.
His mouth was on hers, hot and urgent. The softness of his moustache and chin beard tickled her lips.
She opened to him, her tongue slipping inside to taste him thoroughly. He groaned, pressing the length
of his body against her.
