Laura Wingate's life in New York City was falling apart. The man she hoped to marry would not commit, and her job as a museum exhibitions manager was growing stale. Needing to reevaluate her future, she travels to Magnolia House located near Alexandria, Louisiana. It was a place she shared many happy days with her grandparents. Along the way, Laura meets Kendrick Reynolds, a Hollywood director preparing to film a movie in the area around Alexandria based on the American Civil War's Red River Campaign. Her attraction to Kendrick quickly puts his life in danger when another crew member, and forgotten high school classmate, competes for her attention. As production gets underway, Laura also becomes intrigued by the historical events of 1864 and rumors about Magnolia House involvement in the Underground Railroad. Artifacts she discovers in the attic suggest the rumors were not unfounded, but she cannot interpret their meaning. When her new suitors accidentally stumble across the evidence she seeks, they put aside their differences and make a pact to keep it from her. Little did she suspect the past was going to collide with the present, changing her forever.

DO YOU KNOW THIS AUTHOR? Probably not, BUT YOU SHOULD. Anthony was honored to be added to the Illinois Authors Wiki, a project of the Illinois Center for the Book. The project is a comprehensive resource for information on authors, photographers, and illustrators who have published books and have lived in Illinois or written about Illinois. Anthony's first novel, Halfway to a Southern Heart, was inspired by John Grisham's A Painted House. Grisham's book was made into a television movie in 2003 and the house used in the movie set still stands in the rural community south of downtown Lepanto, Arkansas. Anthony's third novel, Halfway to the Truth, is hailed as eco-fiction at its best and has received the LiFE (Literature for Environment) Award for his use of electronic waste as the story plot. This fictional thriller moves the reader from the shipyards of Savannah, Georgia to a hazardous electronic waste site in the horn of Africa and explores its environmental and health impact. Anthony Mays, the author of several 'halfway to' themed books, chose to use the expression based on his road travels around the country. Seemingly, he was halfway to his destination when a character, plot, or location came to his imagination taken from the things he saw along his way. Throughout the remainder of the trip, a strong, mental outline followed on how he planned to use those elements in a story. Now he is excited to continue to take pieces of his life experiences and mold them into fictional works of art for your enjoyment. For more information please visit at www.anthony-mays.com
