Slavery’s Storm<\/a><\/p>\n Reconstruction Junction<\/a><\/p>\n Lewis & Clark Transportation<\/a><\/p>\n Of course there are little tweaks in each of these new editions (Slavery’s Storm is on its third run) — but they’re so small that only I would notice them. Unlike the edits I made to “Jamestown Journey” for its reprint a few months ago, these changes are simpler — a spot of color cleaned up, a word or two trimmed, a verb made more active. I can always make my writing better!!!<\/p>\n It’s fun for me to go back to storytelling I did 8 or 9 years ago to make it better. I’ve learned a lot more about storytelling than I knew then. And I’ve learned more historical details, too. I’m 43, and I’m still learning — I want the books to reflect that, not turn into museum pieces themselves.<\/p>\n If you want to see how I’m constantly working and reworking my storytelling, jump on my Creative Trail through this website.
