Thanks for bringing it to our attention.librarypatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-79700195134765686592010-05-22T19:15:17.053-04:002010-05-22T19:15:17.053-04:00I love the idea for an author's note...will ha...I love the idea for an author's note...will have to run that by my editor in the future. <br /><br />I will have to check out The Cavalry Wife...I love that time period and American heroes.Nothing against Regency rakes, but those American men were rugged and make my heart race. <br /><br />Glad you all enjoyed the post!Victoria Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08001679068146597047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-72361060490428099442010-05-22T08:00:39.815-04:002010-05-22T08:00:39.815-04:00Victoria, you hit upon my weakness, cavalrymen.

What woman could resist them! Your book Destiny and its sequel are definitely on my To Be Read List. Good Luck with your sales....<br /><br />Donna DaltonDonna Daltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14280118592214971505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-73660463680220966192010-05-22T06:12:50.950-04:002010-05-22T06:12:50.950-04:00A very interesting post Victoria.

I would suggest that since you write historical novels, it would be an added bonus to put an informative post (like this one) at the end of your book for an added level of insight. For me, there is nothing better than having "fact and fiction" intertwined in such fascinating stories. It adds a depth to the story that stays with you long after you read it.Tanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-83784534962729906532010-05-21T15:39:56.357-04:002010-05-21T15:39:56.357-04:00This sounds like a great story, Victoria!

Buffalo Soldiers was the cavalry regiment made up soley of african-american soldiers. There is much history at this fort involving the calvary, buffalo soldiers and indiana tribes. A rich mine of possible stories.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05758737470750841665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-22739232415104268502010-05-21T11:11:02.677-04:002010-05-21T11:11:02.677-04:00I love cavarly officers.
