A tale of love, loyalty, war, commitment, death and redemption, of growing up at a moment's notice, of discovering what is truly meaningful. Seventeen-year-old Jacob Hoffman, son of a Dunker Baptist... More > pacifist, has a winsome and manipulative girlfriend, Rachael, who wants to marry him, or so she thinks. But Jacob's heart is set on a rifle, a sparkling Springfield rifled musket, and he's determined to get one --- even if it kills him. Taking a treasured heirloom, a five-dollar gold coin given him by his dying Grandpa, he sets out to "buy an adventure" --- a rifle. On the eve of what would become the deadliest day in America's history, Jacob and his daddy's slave wagon-maker, Bigun, skip town in the wake of their inadvertent involvement in the killings of three nefarious drifters, and find themselves thrust into the cauldron of the Rebel line of battle, smack in the middle of the apex of Hog Trough Road, now just minutes away from the full wrath of two advancing divisions of Yankee bluecoats.< Less

Lance Hawthorne, his life irrevocably altered by his witness of a horrific crime at the innocent age of ten, is cursed to shoulder the yoke of guilt for taking no action to report the crime's... More > perpetrators, despite his having rock-solid evidence. His guilt deepens after the death of beloved mother five years later, a death he is convinced he caused. Hawthorne drifts through life, his faith shattered, his risk-aversion having rendered him a man all but fearful of his shadow. Until the fateful office card game offers him a chance to return to his boyhood home of Benevolence -- and to the hell that awaits him. Lance Hawthorne is a man rushing headlong into his twilight, haunted by a past that won't let go and a future that won't let up.< Less

About markwatters

Author Image

I am an accounting manager turned stay-at-home dad and author of five novels and seven children's picture books. I have a wonderful wife who fully supported my decision to step out of the workaday comfort zone and into the extraordinary uncertainty of raising a daughter (in a post-9/11 world) and writing books.

While highly successful as a stay-at-home dad, success with writing has been like hitting a Nolan Ryan fastball. Sometimes, when all else fails, I just close my eyes, swing, and hope for the best. Perhaps not the best way to take on the craft of writing, but I'd like to think that someday I'm bound to hit a homerun! Heck, I'll settle for a ground-rule double!

My latest works are Taylor Smart and the Chamber of Skulls, a tween novel filled with adventure, mystery, and some really cool characters; and The Baptism, a novel set in the midst of the Battle Of Antietam (Sharpsburg, Maryland), the bloodiest single day in American history. Thanks for reading!
