Civil War book signing April 5 in Frederick, Md.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 21, 2008 -- GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Gettysburg author Jessica James will sign copies of her debut book SHADES OF GRAY: A NOVEL OF THE CIVIL WAR IN VIRGINIA at Molly’s Meanderings, 17 N. Market St. in Frederick, Md. on April 5, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Hailed as a “sympathetic and loving portrait” by the Historical Novel Society, “Shades of Gray” has captured the attention of Civil War authors and historians, as well as avid romance readers.

Bob O’Connor, award-winning author of “The Virginian Who Might Have Saved Lincoln,” calls “Shades of Gray” the most accurate portrayal of the War Between the States he has ever read, describing it as “exciting, intense and romantic from start to finish.”

Released in January, 2008, by Gettysburg-based Patriot Press, “Shades of Gray” is an epic love story that takes readers on a journey across the rolling hills of northern Virginia. It is an emotional and moving story that illuminates the fine line between friends and enemies at a time when traditions and principles were worth defending at all costs.

“Well written and expertly executed,” says The Book Review Journal. “You cannot leave this book unchanged in your understanding of the souls of the Civil War.”

Frederick County Public Libraries is sponsor of the April 5 event “Much Ado About Books,” which is bringing 18 regional authors to different spots in the downtown area. Molly’s Meanderings is located in historic downtown Frederick and is filled with treasures of a vintage, Victorian style.

Shades of Gray (ISBN: 9780979600005) is available online at www.patriotpressbooks.com, www.amazon.com and at bookstores everywhere.
