HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Image of Karen Cogan"I get most of my inspiration when I'm on trips. I'll watch the scenery and, without trying to force it, begin to speculate about people that passed there long ago, especially riding horses. My imagination soars as I "see" their stories. Other times, I'll be out in a beautiful part of nature and an analogy will spark an inspirational piece."
Karen Cogan, author of the Soon-To-Be-Released Runaway Hearts

Balloon 2 ImageThe Civil war unleashes a bitter battle near Caroline's home--and in her heart. Parentless, and with a young brother to tend, Caroline blames God and the Yankees for her difficulties. Then, she finds a wounded Union soldier lying in her lawn, and her world is turned upside-down...

Shot and left for dead, Nate thanks God for the Confederate angel who takes him in and nurses him back to health, but dreams of taking her West with him after the war are dampened by her Southern alliances and hardened heart.

Will the war pull them apart, or can Nate's faith bind them together?

  1. Great writing tip, Ms. Cogan. Imagination is underutilized these days, what with cell phones and hand-held video games. Oh, and Happy Birthday!
