A Fine Likeness is out now in print!

My Civil War novel A Fine Likeness is now available in print! I got my author's copy from Createspace and it looks grand. Here are some photos of the new arrival and the proud father.

This is a historical novel with a splash of paranormal. If it's not your thing, that's cool. Nevertheless, I'd love it if you helped me out by asking your library to stock it. Just request A Fine Likeness by Sean McLachlan, ISBN-10: 1468004476, ISBN-13: 978-1468004472. Tell them it's a Civil War novel. Those have become increasingly popular because of the Sesquicentennial. It's set in Missouri, so if you live there mention that too! A friend has already requested it for the Salt Lake City public library system. Thanks, Jim!

If any of you have some books that deserve to be in the library, post the information in the comments section and I'd be happy to return the favor!

They were talking about Lincoln on Morning Edition on NPR this morning, and it made me think of you.

Congratulations on your book. How exciting. The Civil War era is one of my favorites. I use to read nonfiction exclusively, mostly Civil War books for years.

Wishing you the best,

Cheryl

Congratulations on your book. I was just randomly looking through the AZ Linky list and saw your Civil War listing.
In the trilogy I am writing and using excerpts for the AZ 2012 the civil war touches their lives as the eldest son becomes a doctor (or what passed for one back then) He writes home giving he accounts and opinions thus anchoring the text in time. Therefor I am now reading all your posts.
Im having trouble commenting from my iPad I am from astringofpearls.org there is an A-Z page tags there as blogger doesn't normally give the right link to me.

Radio Hope

In a world shattered by war, pollution and disease. . . A gunslinging mother longs to find a safe refuge for her son. A frustrated revolutionary delivers water to villagers living on a toxic waste dump. The assistant mayor of humanity's last city hopes he will never have to take command. One thing gives them the promise of a better future--Radio Hope, a mysterious station that broadcasts vital information about surviving in a blighted world. But when a mad prophet and his army of fanatics march out of the wildlands on a crusade to purify the land with blood and fire, all three will find their lives intertwining, and changing forever.

Refugees from the Righteous Horde

When you only have one shot, you better aim true. In a ravaged world, civilization’s last outpost is reeling after fighting off the fanatical warriors of the Righteous Horde. Sheriff Annette Cruz becomes New City’s long arm of vengeance as she sets off across the wildlands to take out the cult’s leader. All she has is a sniper’s rifle with one bullet and a former cultist with his own agenda. Meanwhile, one of the cult’s escaped slaves makes a discovery that could tear New City apart. . . Refugees from the Righteous Horde continues the Toxic World series started in Radio Hope, an ongoing narrative of humanity’s struggle to rebuild the world it ruined.

The Scavenger

In a world shattered by war, pollution, and disease, a lone scavenger discovers a priceless relic from the Old Times. The problem is, it's stuck in the middle of the worst wasteland he knows--a contaminated city inhabited by insane chem addicts and vengeful villagers. Only his wits, his gun, and an unlikely ally can get him out alive. Set in the Toxic World series introduced in the novel Radio Hope, this 10,000-word story explores more of the dangers and personalities that make up a post-apocalyptic world that's all too possible.

Trench Raiders

September 1914: The British Expeditionary Force has the Germans on the run, or so they think. After a month of bitter fighting, the British are battered, exhausted, and down to half their strength, yet they’ve helped save Paris and are pushing toward Berlin. Then the retreating Germans decide to make a stand. Holding a steep slope beside the River Aisne, the entrenched Germans mow down the advancing British with machine gun fire. Soon the British dig in too, and it looks like the war might grind down into deadly stalemate. Searching through No-Man’s Land in the darkness, Private Timothy Crawford of the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry finds a chink in the German armor. But can this lowly private, who spends as much time in the battalion guardhouse as he does on the parade ground, convince his commanding officer to risk everything for a chance to break through?
