Later after the birth of our daughter I was overwhelmed with emotions and found myself writing more and more. it was after the passing of my Dad that I decided to try and get a book together. I felt I owed it to him as much as myself. With a church going family and a mom that loved telling stories it seemed only natural that I would want to write. I love remembering the past, people and places that I've been, it's always been so easy for me to write them down. Sand Mountain Memories, was Thirty Years in the making. I now live in Mt Sterling Kentucky, Six miles from my childhood home and I often visit those wonderful hills that as a child I couldn't get enough of. In November of 2012 I was Diagnosed with Progressive MS and I thought now would be the time to get published... Thank You.

Book Description
"Do you realize you are going back fifty years in progress?" That's what my father-in-law, 'Pop' Troost, asked my husband, Bill, and me, as we pulled up our roots from a comfortable three-bedroom ranch home in New Jersey. With our five young children we did just that! We planted those roots 200 miles north in the western slopes of the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. An old, three story, ten room farmhouse that hadn't been lived in for a couple of years became our 'new' home. Out in the middle of nowhere, the kids had a few hundred acres to romp in, as we became used to living the life of 'the olden times.' This vacationland has given me many memorable moments. Some unexpected, some exasperating, some comical, some heart wrenching. As you read between the lines, you will find God in the whole mix.

Book Description
These Civil War memories were written by General Reuben Williams and were published in the two Warsaw, Indiana, newspapers that he was editor of and owned. His intent was to inform people who had grown up since the war of what it was like to be involved in the greatest struggle that our nation had ever known. He hoped to show the importance of the ordinary soldier who fought in the trenches and dealt most directly with the extreme hardships of war. His account also relates instances of camp life and battles that he had been a part of, together with the personalities involved. The dates, anecdotes, and facts have all been preserved here as the General related them. "He was connected with the important operations and engagements of the armies of the southwest, including the siege of Vicksburg, Jackson, Mississippi; Kenesaw Mountain, Mission Ridge Atlanta, Jonesborough, Bentonville, and scores of skirmishes. He took pride in the discipline and bravery of his regiment. He was complimented in a personal letter from General Sherman for the regiment's soldierly bearing, and the boys were equally proud of their commander."

Book Description
Some people have no place to call home; others discover home is not a safe place. Christine Covington and the old man she meets in Reno-who calls himself Socrates-have both learned these lessons the hard way. Socrates, a homeless wanderer, has evaded the law for twenty years and has created a mythical place called Athens, Nevada. Christine, a young woman, has escaped the oppression of a family member. As they endeavor to stay beneath society's radar, Christine (in disguise) and Socrates spend the summer together bicycling through the mountains of California and the old gold-rush towns of Nevada, panning for gold. Along their journey, Socrates shares his wealth of wisdom, teaching Christine a new way of thinking. As suspense builds, Christine and Socrates eventually discover they can't escape their pasts forever. With the FBI pursuing Socrates and police authorities searching for Christine, the pair manages to evade their pursuers, but only for so long. Finally captured, Socrates is subjected to a modern trial just as the real Socrates was in 399 B.C. Through it all, the friendship between Socrates and Christine deepens as they learn how to better handle their problems. A Summer with Socrates will delight you with its twists, turns, and surprises, keeping you reading and learning from the opening pages to its eloquent ending.

Book Description
Comprehensive and richly illustrated, Close Harmony traces the development of the music known as southern gospel from its antebellum origins to its twentieth-century emergence as a vibrant musical industry driven by the world of radio, television, recordings, and concert promotions. Marked by smooth, tight harmonies and a lyrical focus on the message of Christian salvation, southern gospel--particularly the white gospel quartet tradition--had its roots in nineteenth-century shape-note singing. The spread of white gospel music is intricately connected to the people who based their livelihoods on it, and Close Harmony is filled with the stories of artists and groups such as Frank Stamps, the Chuck Wagon Gang, the Blackwood Brothers, the Rangers, the Swanee River Boys, the Statesmen, and the Oak Ridge Boys. The book also explores changing relations between black and white artists and shows how, following the civil rights movement, white gospel was influenced by black gospel, bluegrass, rock, metal, and, later, rap. With Christian music sales topping the $600 million mark at the close of the twentieth century, Close Harmony explores the history of an important and influential segment of the thriving gospel industry.
