| I thought I would respond to the article by the Associated Press regarding "Book World Laments Lack of Great Fiction"
(http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=sto...ot/fall_books_2).
I would like to hope that my novel, Soul of the South, can address this lamenting very soon, as my novel is scheduled to be released for late 2005/Early 2006. Soul of the South is filled with action, romance, and intrigue, as the protagonist William Lytham of Mobile, Alabama serves the South as a spy in Washington, as a diplomat in England and France, and as an officer in the Army of Northern Virginia. Lytham is also adamantly against slavery, as he makes known to President Lincoln and Confederate President Davis. And, of course, there is much romance, as the protagonist meets a beautiful woman from Richmond, Virginia set against the backdrop of a beautiful woman he meets while in France as a Southern diplomat. He ends up marrying one of them amidst much acclamation with a surprise individual as the best man. In sum, Soul of the South will greatly appeal to the American populace, and even to the British and French for that matter, as both the North and South are portrayed fairly and with respect. It is a novel all can cherish. You are more than welcome to read a chapter excerpt on my web site at [Personal Website Link Removed]
