Hello All!
I am honored to be a guest here today and send a heartfelt thanks to my hostess, Deborah. I’m happy to announce the release of my inspirational historical romance The Rebel's Pledge in a new and refreshing revised version.  It was first published back in 2001. I’ve been busy writing other novels, so it lay dormant for seven years after it went out of print. Amazon is providing a wonderful avenue for authors to bring out their backlist titles to readers. I will have another book (a two-in-one collection) coming out in the future from my backlist, along with the books in The Daughters of the Potomac Series published by Abingdon Press.
Rita Gerlach, Author
