As you may have noticed I have not posted recently on the blog. I have super busy the last couple of weeks. If you have not caught my interview on NPR on State of Affairs, I recommend going to their web site and listening to the interview on my book Lincoln and the Speeds. I was also in Rowan County and did a presentation on General Burbridge. I was really welcomed by the historical society, and had a good time talking to the residents of the county. They have already invited me to come back and do another lecture. Today, I will be in Springfield, Kentucky signing books at the Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks re-enactment of the their wedding at the Lincoln Homestead. I will be there at 2:30 pm, so come on out and see a historic re-enactment and enjoy the beautiful weather.  This coming weekend I will be in Chicago, Illinois and will be doing a virtual booksigning at the Abraham Lincoln Bookstore on Saturday at 12 noon. After that I have a break for the hot days of July, then I will start up again in August. Keeping looking at the web site, we should have another article soon on Guerilla Warfare in Kentucky.

Things have really been having the last couple of weeks. I have done photography around town for the Louisville in the Civil War book and tomorrow I will be at the Bluegrass Festival of Books. I will be at the Joseph Beth Booksellers from 9 to 5. Hope to see everyone.  

Just a reminder that May 17 from 9 to 5 I will be at the Bluegrass Festival of Books. Hope to see my Lexington friends there.

Just a update. Looks like my book on Louisville During the Civil War will be out for Christmas. Eariler I said it could be June, but the publishers thought that the book would be a nice gift for all you Civil War buffs out there.  You may notice that I do not have an article for this month the reason being that I have some REALLY strict deadlines to make for the Louisville book, but not to fear, come July I will continue to post articles.

I am really excited about my newest book: A Historic Tour of Louisville During the Civil War. The book will be published by History Press. The book will briefly discuss Louisville During the Civil War and will have a guided tour of the sites that you can visit in Louisville that still exist from the Civil War. The publication hopefully will be by June of this year.

This saturday at 2 pm at Joseph Beth Booksellers in Lexington, Ky. I will be on a panel discussing Lincoln. Come by and say Hi. The Southern Kentucky Book Festival went well, I sold quite a few books and met some really nice people at the show.

Just to let you know, I will be in Bowling Green on April 19 at the Southern Kentucky Festival of Books. I also have some good news, on June 13th the day before my Lincoln Homestead booksigning, I will be on WFPL-89.3’s (NPR) State of Affairs at 12 noon. Also, make sure you watch the Courier Journal in the Neighborhood section next Wednesday, I will have an article on yours truely.

Just a reminder that I will be signing my books Friday April 4, at Borders on 4th Street from 5 to 7 PM. There should be a huge turnout, since 800 history educators will be in town for a conference. As for my Destinations booksigning, the turnout was extremely light, I had only 12 people, but members of Locust Grove came to my signing and we had a good time discussing the history of the Croghan family and the Clarks. After the bookstore closed, I went to dinner with the members of Locust Grove and had a good time. Hope to see you at Borders.

Just a reminder that I will be at Destinations Bookstore in New Albany, Indiana on March 29, from 5 to 7 PM. I will be discussing Lincoln and the Speeds. From the weather forecast the day should be nice with no rain, so come on out and say Hi.
