Today is pub day for my latest book, Two Wars and a Wedding! You can read an excerpt here! There really are two wars in this book, but they’re not the two wars anyone expects. (No one expects the Spanish-American War?) They’re the Greco-Turkish War of 1897 and the Spanish-American War of 1898. While I’d…

Happy Friday, all! With book launch fast approaching (FOUR DAYS!), I’ve been clutching my comfort reads like a teddy bear. Which is really thematically appropriate now that I think about it, since teddy bears were named after Teddy Roosevelt, and Teddy Roosevelt is a significant side character in Two Wars and a Wedding. But before…
Read MoreTWO WARS AND A WEDDING: Virtual Events!
As much as I’d love to be everywhere to celebrate the launch of Two Wars and a Wedding, that would defy the laws of time and space– and radically exceed the amount of childcare I can rustle up. I so hope I’ll see many of you this coming month in Fairfield, Connecticut with Sarah Penner…

I was tempted to title this post “Betsy meets Clara Barton”, but that sounded a bit too much like an old Scooby Doo episode…. (Although, really, I’d watch time traveling Scooby Doo.) Forgive me! Book launch makes me a bit loopy. You may know Clara Barton as the Civil War Angel of the Battlefield, America’s…

I know I said I was going to post about the Greco-Turkish War this week, but… it’s very hard to post about the Greco-Turkish War without feeling a little like I’m including spoilers. Since Two Wars and a Wedding doesn’t come out for another two weeks (two weeks, folks!!!!) and the book actually opens in…
