Thank you again to everyone who has helped make my two books, The Battle of Marianna, Florida and The Battle of Natural Bridge, Florida, so successful this year. I donate the profits from these volumes to heritage-related organizations and, thanks to you, a number of worthwhile projects have received funding as a result of the success of these volumes.

In addition, you have helped prove that there is a market for detailed histories of smaller historical events. This is very encouraging both to me and other writers who are considering similar projects. Hopefully it will also encourage more traditional publishers of historical work to broaden their horizons a little.

Autographed copies of the books can be purchased online at http://www.exploresouthernhistory.com/ and, as always, they are available at http://www.barnesandnoble.com/, http://www.amazon.com/, etc. If you are in Northwest Florida, signed copies are also available at Chipola River Book and Tea at 4402 Lafayette Street in downtown Marianna (across the street from the Battle of Marianna monument).
