I am a new author of six books about the Civil War. I have already been recognized in four national book award competitions as a finalist including two for Best Book of the Year and two for the Indie Excellence Awards. The U.S. Colored Troops at Andersonville Prison is a non-fiction book that was published in early 2010.
