While being sick as a dog I decided that catching up on movies was a good plan. Apparently when I am sick I don’t really give two puddles what is playing and watched a movie I never would have picked if I was feeling well. World War Z. Now keep in mind I get nightmares from horror movie commercials, so I am pretty much a big wimp. I even get a little freaked out by the kids game “Plants vs Zombies”. It was a fun movie to watch, the fast zombie idea added that extra spice that kept me on my toes. What was not cool was looking in the bathroom mirror and seeing a resemblance to the zombies and not even having the benefit of being quite as athletic. Oh dear.. it was definitely time to kick this bug.

Genre: Westerns | Romance

FREE for a limited time

The War Between the States had dragged on far too long, leaving behind a welter of broken bodies and broken men.

One of these is James Yancey, Lt. Colonel, CSA. Captured by the Union Army after the Battle of the Wilderness, he was sent to the officers’ prison camp at Johnson’s Island in Sandusky Bay, Ohio. Having been forced to abandon his men is a tribulation that eats at him; that does, in fact, color his whole existence with self-blame. Even after he is released, at war’s end, James is haunted by memories of what he considers his own disgrace.

With the South going through Reconstruction, his best option seems to be a move west, to join his two brothers already situated in California. During a brief stop in Charleston, his former home, he locates a girl from childhood plantation days, Emma Palmer, and seeks her hand in marriage.

Emma’s parents had died during the war. Having escaped its deprivations by touring Europe, she has recently returned to live with an aunt. Careless and giddy, she is so overwhelmed by the excitement of the prospect that she accepts. Once James is settled, he will send for her to join him.
