Odds ‘n Sods:

I’m presently reading the novel “The Hunt for Confederate Gold” by Thomas Moore. (Published by Fusilier Books.) I’m now halfway through the novel, and I can’t put it down! Without giving too much away, I can tell you that it is three storylines wrapped into one. (One of which takes place in the closing days of the Confederate States of America.) Thusfar, I can highly recommend the novel. I’ll post a full review once I’ve finished reading it.
