In The Printer’s Kiss, love, honor, and survival are all at stake for Will and Eliza Wylie Tomlinson, a passionate couple fighting their own personal battles as well as Confederates in West Virginia and Ohio. Told through letters discovered in a cracker tin and for sale on E-Bay, their story shows how an ordinary couple refused to let extraordinary times rob them of life’s most precious gifts.

3 Poems combines: At Betty’s Restaurant, Thomas Shepherd Loves Danske Dandridge and The Shepherdstown Sonnet, written to commemorate Shepherdstown’s 250th anniversary.
