I thought I would respond to the article by the Associated
Press regarding "Book World Laments Lack of Great Fiction"
(http://news.yahoo.com/news?
tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050817/ap_en_ot/fall_books_2). I would
like to hope that my novel, Soul of the South, can address
this lamenting very soon, as my novel is scheduled to be
released for late 2005/Early 2006. Soul of the South is
filled with action, romance, and intrigue, as the
protagonist William Lytham of Mobile, Alabama serves the
South as a spy in Washington, as a diplomat in England and
France, and as an officer in the Army of Northern
Virginia. Lytham is also adamantly against slavery, as he
makes known to President Lincoln and Confederate President
Davis. And, of course, there is much romance, as the
protagonist meets a beautiful woman from Richmond,
Virginia set against the backdrop of a beautiful woman he
meets while in France as a Southern diplomat. He ends up
marrying one of them amidst much acclamation with a
surprise individual as the best man. In sum, Soul of the
South will greatly appeal to the American populace, and
even to the British and French for that matter, as both
the North and South are portrayed fairly and with respect.
It is a novel all can cherish. You are more than welcome
to read a chapter excerpt on my web site at

Sincerely,
Mike Witham
