I’ll return for you. I vow it.
 

When Cami DuBois winds up on a Manassas battlefield, she stumbles across Confederate re-enactors too deep in character. One of those men drives her to the point of distraction, while drawing her lusts to the surface. Cami tries to ignore the sensation she knows this man—until he vanishes before her.

Left in limbo, Christophe Sinclair is bound by his vow. Promising to return to his love after the end of the Civil War, he’s overjoyed to have his Camille back—and to truly have her in his arms again is his singular focus. 

Christophe’s tie to Cami is strong, one that might defy the rules of space and time.

If the Voodoo Gods allow it.

I asked Alexandra O'Hurley if she had any advice for new writers and here is what she had to say:
 

The best advice I can give any new author is to remember what works for some, might not work for all, so don’t panic if you’ve followed all “the rules” and don’t find success.  This journey is yours alone – and there is no right or wrong way.  As long as you stay true to yourself and listen to your gut instincts, you’ll likely find your road to success.

Not to say there won’t be bumps and missteps along the way.  There will be plenty.  Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep moving forward.  The only one who can truly defeat you is you.

Grow thicker skin, you’ll need it.  Be able to take professional critique without taking suggestions personally.  If you want to grow, it comes from listening to strong, respected feedback, not kiss-asses, even though their words are sweeter. And lastly, once your story comes out to the world, remember you’ll never be everything to everyone.  There will be people out there who think your work is terrible.  Likely there are just as many or more who think your work is great.
