Historical fiction is my passion. I so love bringing history to life - the reason I dedicate most of my time to writing historical fiction books! Dark Chaos is the fourth book in the ongoing Bregdan Chronicles historical novel series. It's readers like you who have turned it into a world-wide best-seller. Thank you! Book Description: Dark clouds and chaos descend lower upon America as the war rages around them; threatening all they hold dear. Carrie and Robert are once more pulled apart, and Carrie finds herself the target of a hostile group of men determined to stop her from providing medical care of black residents of Richmond. How long can she continue to save other people's lives at the risk of her own? Aunt Abby is sucked into a violent riot in the North, while Matthew faces the greatest challenge of his life. Rose welcomes new life, while Moses risks everything as a Northern spy. The ultimate test comes as the people of a once-promising nation must hold on to their faith and dreams as everything around them crumbles. The fourth book of The Bregdan Chronicles historical fiction series will pull you in and never let you go. You'll experience the Civil War era (and all the years to come) through the eyes of both White and Black, free & slave, Southern & Northern - and you'll fall in love with every character. How many books will be in the Bregdan Chronicles? You'll have to ask God about that... I intend to write these character's stories, one year at a time, for as long as I'm able to write. I'm passionate about bringing history to life through historical fiction. Since I'm amazingly healthy, that could be for a very long time! I don't like stories to end any more than you do. This one won't end for a very long time! Review: What a wonderful role model for women of all ages. Ginny Dye's cast of characters are the kind of people you'd like to know personally. Her leading lady, Carrie Cromwell is not your typical 'Southern Belle'; she's a free thinker, ahead of her time in a world of war and madness. Our author is not afraid to use divine, spiritual beliefs to bring common sense and sanity to the backward, inhumane thinking of the times leading up to the Civil War. The fact that these characters, now friends, will be with us for more than one historical fiction book, is something to look foward to. Now into book four, with many more to come, I'll be reading the entire epic for as long as our author can write and I can read !! Review: This was a wonderful series with historical facts carefully woven into the story of the Cromwell family and all who relate to them. I'm anxious for the author to write the final year of the war. I understand it will be called "The Long Last Night" and I want it soon! Thanks for an excellent read. Review: The Bregdan Chronicles are a great historical fiction read. You learn a lot about American History and at the same time you get emotionally involved and interested in the characters. So much so that you look forward to the next book in the series!

I'd just finished reading my advance copy of Joseph's Dream, the World War I epic by Elana Beth Schwab (http://www..com/gp/product/1505823692) when I found Dark Chaos, another excellent war novel with a strong Judeo-Christian moral stance, and harsh realism that makes the battle scenes exciting without romanticizing war.Dark Chaos is a well-balanced ensemble piece, with each of the prinicipal characters getting almost equal “screen-time.” Even the marriage of Carrie and Robert is fully explored from both perspectives. We see the American Civil War through the eyes of a woman doctor, a black Union soldier, a Northern journalist, a captain in the Confederate army, a plantation owner, a schoolteacher in a black refugee camp, a woman suffragist, and a former slave. We follow the course of the war week by week thoroughout 1863 and 1864. The battle scenes are the best part of Dark Chaos, because in every major battle, an important character that the reader is emotionally invested in is fighting on each side. This is an unusual approach in war fiction. The theatrical drama and the moral complexity of the story are greatly increased because the reader doesn't know which side to root for.History wonks will enjoy the detailed descriptions of a Southern military prison, a refugee camp for escaped slaves, a street riot in New York, a deserted plantation, and a black battalion in the Union army. There are lyrics from Civil War era popular songs, assasination attempts against Jefferson Davis, wartime improvements in shipbuilding technology, prisoner exchanges, even battlefield weather reports and the name of Stonewall Jackson's horse!

My MusingsAnd this amazing story continues with the fourth book of The Bregdan Chronicles. Dark Chaos is filled with turmoil of the times as the north continues to wage war against the south. I must mention that even though these books are quite long, the pacing is so good that they read as a much shorter story.This edition of this saga starts out on a happy note with Carrie at long last marrying Robert Borden. Unfortunately that does not last long. General Lee needs him to lead his men in the defense of, yet again, another assault on Richmond. The day after their wedding, Carrie has to kiss him goodbye and live in fear that he will not make it through the upcoming battle.Dark Chaos covers the period from the spring of 1863 to the following spring. Up to this point the south has come out the victor in most of the battles, but the tide turns when Grant takes over the Army of the West with Joseph Hooker as the Commander of the Army of the Potomac.After a decisive victory over Hooker at Chancellorsville, Lee marches his army north, while Robert is sent on a diplomatic mission to England. While he is disappointed when Carrie decides to stay in Richmond instead of joining him, he accepts her decision, knowing his strong-willed wife will not change her mind.Robert is safe in England when Lee suffers a huge defeat at Gettysburg and Grant is victorious in his campaign to take Vicksburg, gaining control of the Mississippi, cutting the south in half. Unfortunately Carrie and Robert’s friend from Philadelphia, Matthew Justin, is not and ends up back in Libby prison.While Dark Chaos has many dark moments, the love between the various couples grows stronger.
