  * LATEST RELEASE – COME BACK, MY LOVE *

Ever dream about living during the Civil War? Then join Olivia Montgomery, a young, modern-day history teacher, on an exciting journey into the past. From the fall of Port Hudson to the early days of Reconstruction in Louisiana , witness first-hand the turmoil and hardships of that era. Meet Prentice Angelle, a handsome Confederate surgeon who rescues Olivia and entrusts her into the care of his sister, Agatha. Experience the confusion and helplessness Olivia faces while struggling to find answers. Why was she brought to this time and into these lives? When Port Hudson falls, climb aboard a small paddle wheeler and travel down river with a flamboyant and deviant riverboat pilot, Claude Jarreau. See New Orleans under Union occupation. Plead with General Banks for Prentice’s release from the Custom House.

Historically accurate, these fictitious and colorful characters weave an adventurous and heartwarming tale—a love story that transcends time. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. But most of all, you will never forget.

I will serve as docent for the River Region Art Gallery  on the first Tuesday of every month. Come by and visit. We can talk art and writing. You'll love our quaint little gallery just off Airline Highway in Gonzales. To learn more about River Region Art Association, visit our website at www.artgumbo.org.
