Newly released novel backs up Amazon data: Virginia is for lovers
‘Shades of Gray’ hailed as a classic romance

GETTYSBURG, PA. According to Amazon.com, Virginia is for lovers. And according to reviewers and avid book readers—so is a newly released novel that takes place entirely in the Old Dominion.
Virginia is well represented in Amazon.com’s recent list of Most Romantic Cities, garnering three of the spots in the Top 20 list, and capturing the number one spot with Alexandria.
“Shades of Gray: A Novel of the Civil War in Virginia” by Jessica James, is also collecting attention for its sweeping portrayal of the War Between the States and its passionate description of the private lives of Virginians forever changed by war.
Hailed as a “sympathetic and loving portrait” by the Historical Novel Society, “Shades of Gray” has captured the attention of Civil War authors and historians, as well as avid romance readers.
Bob O’Connor, award-winning author of “The Virginian Who Might Have Saved Lincoln,” calls “Shades of Gray” the most accurate portrayal of the War Between the States he has ever read, describing it as “exciting, intense and romantic from start to finish.”
Released in January, 2008, by Gettysburg-based Patriot Press, “Shades of Gray” is an epic love story that takes readers on a journey across the rolling hills of northern Virginia. It is an emotional and moving story, that illuminates the fine line between friends and enemies at a time when traditions and principles were worth defending at all costs.
“Well written and expertly executed,” says The Book Review Journal. “You cannot leave this book unchanged in your understanding of the souls of the Civil War.”
Shades of Gray (ISBN: 978-0-9796000-0-5) is available at www.patriotpressbooks.com, as well as Internet retailers and bookstores everywhere.
