“Jenna’s writing is deep, philosophical and true to her heart. … [her] little book changed my perspective to one of appreciation for all we have now, for next season with even more growing space and for a bug-free October day with dirt-covered hands and knees. … Thank you, Miss Woginrich, for the reminder to savor each day.“

“Laramie Wyoming is in big trouble—as usual—but this is the biggest, baddest trouble he’s ever gotten himself into. Eleven-year-old Laramie is a lot of things: an average student, a little mischievous, always messy, constantly curious, and on most days, a good big brother. … But when his mother, a travel writer, gets the chance to take her family with her on a trip around the country to write a book, they jump into their motor home and head for the great unknown. The adventure hasn’t stopped since! Even though he’s used to getting in (and out) of scrapes, Laramie never—not in a million years—dreamed he and Maestro would end up being chased from Virginia to Alaska and lots of places in-between by bank robbers. It’s official: Laramie’s on the lam.”

Civil War Generals of Tennesee

Pelican Publishing

“Tennessee during the Civil War was a state in conflict with herself. She provided more than 120,000 troops to the Confederacy, mostly from Middle and West Tennessee, while 40,000 men from the eastern part of the state joined the Union forces. Overall, more than 16 percent of Tennessee’s total population entered the fray on both sides. Sadly, many of those men, and their families, failed to survive the brutal years that followed. This collection of biographical essays by noted Civil War historian and native Tennessean Randy Bishop provides insight into the lives of sixty-one sons of Tennessee who fought for home and country in both the Confederate and Union forces. While their military careers are the primary focus of the text, Bishop delves into their lives before and after their service to examine the impact their self-sacrifice had on their families and their state”

“When Chief of Detectives Shiloh Tempest is temporarily put in charge of the Knox County Sheriff’s Department, he is given a single, facetious instruction: Don’t arrest the mayor. And then the mayor’s wife is shot to death in their home, with the mayor’s own gun. A dedicated cop but never a game-player, Tempest is forced to juggle politics, police procedure, the press, and a killer gunning for him as he pursues the tricky investigation. Award-winning author and former Knox County Deputy David Hunter takes readers inside the life and mind of Chief Shiloh Tempest in this suspenseful second novel in the Shiloh Tempest series.”
