“The Writer’s Journey”

 How did a California girl end up writing about Virginia and the Civil War? Come hear author and CCW member T. Elizabeth Renich talk about how she wrote The Shadowcreek Chronicles, a series of four historical novels: Word of Honor, Matter of Trust, Not Without Courage, and Strength and Glory. Her books parallel the history during the Civil War from the summer of 1862 until the war ended in 1865. She’ll also share how she’s using the sesquicentennial of the Civil War to market her books.

Her books have received recognition for their historical accuracy and writing. Not Without Courage was a medallion recipient from the San Diego Library, and Strength and Glory was nominated for the John Esten Cooke Historical Fiction Award and the Lincoln Prize. In her non-author life, Tammy currently works for Defense and Special Teams in the Coaching Office of the Washington Redskins. Ahead of schedule, she accomplished her goal of visiting all 50 states before her 50th birthday.
