I often receive "catches" of errors in my books from sharp-eyed readers, and this time, I'm telling you about a beauty before you have the chance to roast me for it. In the DUST JACKET TEXT of "A CHAIN OF THUNDER", there is one glaring historical error, the length of the Siege of Vicksburg. The text says "ten days". In fact, it's 47. In my defense, my editor and I made this correction back in February, but somehow, the wrong copy was used on the final published jacket. This kind of thing drives me crazy (especially when we think we've fixed it in advance) and I apologize to all of you (and there are a bunch of you) who get annoyed by this kind of mistake as much as I do.
Now that the first major leg of the tour is complete, I'll be working full-time on the 3rd volume of the 4-book set, which will follow Sherman, Grant, George Thomas and their adversaries (notably, Braxton Bragg and Patrick Cleburne) through the campaign around Chattanooga, onward toward Atlanta. That book is scheduled to be released May, 2014.

As always, I offer my apologies for not responding to every email I receive, but I assure you, I do READ everyone of them, and answer them as time allows. Please note that some of your questions might be answered on the FAQ Page ("Frequently Asked Questions").
