We had a wild time today at Christiansburg Elementary School. All the fifth-graders from C.E.S. and nearby Belview Elementary were there. About 200 kids in all, the teachers told us. We definitely didn’t have time to count. Those kids were ready to roll!

So this is the webpage about my book, which is all about how I nearly got my head blown off fighting in the real Civil War.
If you haven’t read the book, I don’t want to spoil anything for you, but seriously you should read it because it is jampacked with action. Most of it involving people trying to blow my head off!
See first of all, there’s this crazy dude who also went back in time and he’s trying to screw up history. And then there’s my crazy great-great-great-great cousin (or something like that) Cyrus who’s a real Civil War soldier and seems perfectly happy to get his head (or worse) blown off and mine, too.
And then there’s the real Stonewall Jackson and thousands of other generals and soldiers and cannon shooters on both sides of the war, all of whom seem to be charging right at me and trying to blow my head off.
But there is an up side. See, there’s this girl, Ashby, who is amazing and is at least a little bit worried about me possibly getting killed, inlike anyone else. Together, we’ve got to try to survive this crazy day-long battle AND save the world from the crazy dude.
