Click here to read an interview that I gave to Darrin Dickey for his Brandingfire Blog on the marketing of Civil War books.

Eric : a very interesting interview. Having read many of your books and nearly finished with “One Continuous Fight”, I can attest to the quality of the writing and research that is the truly unique quality of the books you and your co-authors have given your growing readership. i’m very glad to see that “Brice’s Crossroads” will be a future project. Having been there recently with the Chicago Roundtable and Ed Bearss, i’d agree that that battle presents an opportunity for building upon the scholarship of Ed Bearss and others. Even though Erwin Rommel never visited there, he should have. One can learn from the success of the “Critter Cavalry”. Bill Shepherd.

I’m also excited to see the Brice’s Crossroads book in the works. I have a strong interest in General Forrest and that’s a great fight to study.

If you find yourself in the Nashville area, let me know. Maybe we can catch some coffee or lunch.
