Meet J. Carol Nemeth and her new book Battlefield of Deceit

 A diary on loan to the museum.

An old Civil War house on the edge of the battlefield.

Could these two things be connected?

Gettysburg National Military Park historian, Chloe Rogers, begins her research into both: to prepare for a donor event and to discover if it can be restored for public viewing. Chloe and her fellow historian, Clifford Weston, discover a virtual Pandora’s box in the cellar beneath the house revealing more questions than answers. Park policeman, Blake Hunter, becomes embroiled in the old house mystery but gives Chloe cause for concern when her widowed heart responds to his attentions. She’s simply not ready to move on. Is she? When unwelcome things begin to occur, they realize they have to discover who’s behind them and soon. Will Chloe find the answers in a packet of old letters discovered in the cellar? Then there are the unexplained footsteps….

I asked Carol, "What made you have to write this particular book?"

 This is the fifth and final book in my Faith in the Parks series, a series that takes place in National Parks here in the US. This book is set at Gettysburg National Military Park in Gettysburg, PA. 

I've visited this park on many occasions and now live only an hour and a half from it. I've always been interested in it and particularly the stories of the people involved in this terrible battle. 

When the opportunity presented itself to add a book to my romantic suspense series set at this park, I didn't hesitate. It makes a great finale to the series, especially the ending (no spoilers here).
