Reenacting

060927-Hillsborough 2002 Reenactment

I’ve been a reenactor for almost seven years. At living history events such as those listed on the calendar, I portray the wife of a soldier (otherwise known as a "camp follower") in His Majesty’s 33rd Light Company of Foot. Although the term "camp follower" conjures images of a shabbily dressed, poxed prostitute who skulks around the fringe of a military camp, prostitutes made up only a small percentage of camp followers during the Revolutionary War. A camp follower was any non-combatant attending a military group: a soldier’s wife, sibling, child, parent, servant, or slave, for example, or an artisan (blacksmith, wheelwright, etc.), merchant (stationer, green grocer, etc.), trader, or peddler. One reason I reenact is to help educate the public about real history.

T-Minus Two Weeks to Launch

2006 Paper Woman book cover

The first novel of my historical suspense series, Paper Woman: A Mystery of the American Revolution, debuts at Walnut Grove Plantation’s “Festifall” event two weeks from today, on Saturday 7 October 2006, in Roebuck, SC. I’ll be on site all day in 18th-century clothing. The battle reenactment starts at 1:00 p.m., and my reading begins approximately 1:30 p.m., just after the battle concludes, in front of the main house. For the booksigning, we’ll move around the side of the house to the grape arbor.

Paper Woman (ISBN 0-9785265-1-1) is published by Whittler’s Bench Press, a new fiction imprint of Dram Tree Books, and is also available through chains such as Books-a-Million and Amazon.
