PERIOD RUSH: Tales of the Fighting 21st (Part 2: Conscription)

Awaking in the deserted countryside on the early morning of June 29, 1863. Our seven reenactors find themselves split apart into groups of Yanks and Rebs, fully equipped with authentic uniforms, accoutrements, supplies, weapons, a set curiously behaving pocket watches, and a striking silver and green flag emblazoned with the monicker '21^st'.

Taken into the ranks of Federal and Confederate regiments, marching towards an obscure, small town in Pennsylvania, they are greeted with a mix of curiosity, suspicion, and outright hostility. It will take not only their knowledge of the time but also every fiber of strength, of body, mind, & soul, to survive in this alien world.

One unanswered question remained: were they sent to save history… or change history? One fact, however, was beyond doubt… PLAYTIME IS OVER.

PERIOD RUSH: Tales of the Fighting 21st (Part 3: Seeing the Elephant)

by M. X. Kane

From the first shot of the Battle of Gettysburg at the crack of dawn on July 1st right through to the bloody crescendo of Pickett's Charge on July 3rd, both the Federal and Confederates fighting under the banner of the 21^st will discover their true mettle with Daniel, Nick, Virgil, William, and Zachary fighting in the ranks while Jesse and Elizabeth toil in the charnel house of a Civil War hospital.

Even in this hellish maelstrom of death and despair symbolizing the worst of human existence, the 21^st will also witness the best of human nature proven with acts of bravery, generosity, mercy, and sacrifice by their veteran comrades and even by themselves.

And while forging an unbreakable bond of camaraderie unique to war, they will fight their own internal battles with the hope of winning their personal civil war. However, redemption and return will require paying the ultimate price.

I read this in one afternoon because it was far too good to put down as one mystery twisted into many different branches—Lynchburg Reads

Playing Possum (I really get a smile out of her titles) is focused on the animal world, a big plus for me, and is built on an equally intriguing puzzle.—Buried Under Books

Lois Schmitt is a new author to me and after reading book #3 of her Kristy Farrell Mystery Series, I'm hooked. The author has a knack for writing short chapters that capture your interest and have you turning the page to see what happens next.—Waterside Kennel Mysteries.

Poems from the Heart, for Midlife Women

by Renata Shiloah

My story began at age twelve when those unpredictable hormones started wreaking havoc on my life. PMS was no picnic, but little did I know that perimenopause would come roaring in like a storm. I hoped everything would return to normal once I hit menopause, but reality hit me hard. Those hormones seemed to be lifelong companions, and I battled severe symptoms for most of my adult life.

This tumultuous journey inspired me to write the self-help book It's Time For A PAUSE. The prospect of entering midlife filled me with dread. Then, one day, my children stumbled upon a hidden treasure—a journal containing a poetry book I had written at age twelve when my hormonal rollercoaster began. Publishing those heartfelt poems had always been a dream of mine, and now that dream has finally materialized.

Poems from the Heart is a collection of emotional verses from my soul, capturing the sadness, highs, and lows I experienced even at that young age. Life can be challenging, especially in midlife. However, I've learned that there's always something we can discover to make each phase worthwhile. For me, becoming a grandmother was a profound blessing during midlife. Using the joy of that experience to guide me toward better emotional well-being and maintaining a healthy diet, exercise routine, and sufficient sleep has been the key to my overall health. I sincerely hope you find solace in this book and discover the one thing that can keep you sane during this stage of life because you deserve to live your best life ever!
