Confessions of a Military Wife 

by Mollie Gross  

 

"Confessions should be issued to EVERY military girlfriend or wife. . ."  - Autumn Leigh, Marine wife

Confessions of a Military Wife is an honest, witty, and often hilarious look at the life of the new generation military wife. Mollie Gross learned the hard way to laugh instead of cry at what she could not control as a military spouse-and as she quickly discovered, nearly everything was out of her control!

A standup comedienne, public speaker, and wife of a USMC Iraq war Veteran, Mollie explores everything about the "issued" spouse, from deployment and the stress of having a husband in a combat zone, to the realization that marriage changes when your husband returns home from war.    

Confessions teaches all women, whether civilian or military, that they can learn to find the funny side of anything by embracing the situation and changing their perspective. And now they can do so with humor and levity, and a little wisdom. Read more.

Savas Beatie proudly announces the winner of The Army Historical Foundation's Distinguished Writing Award, for Reprint, 2011

PRESS RELEASE:

                                       WINNER

The Army Historical Foundation's Distinguished Writing Award, for Reprint, 2011

Gettysburg’s Forgotten Cavalry Actions: Farnsworth’s Charge, South Cavalry Field, and the Battle of Fairfield, July 3, 1863
 (Savas Beatie, 2011) by Eric Wittenberg

Gettysburg’s Forgotten Cavalry Actions by author Eric Wittenberg was selected as the 2011 winner of The Army Historical Foundation's Distinguished Writing Award for the reprint category. The Army Historical Foundation has an annual awards program to recognize books and articles that have made a distinctive contribution to U.S. Army history.

Wittenberg’s Gettysburg’s Forgotten Cavalry Actions previously won the Bachelder-Coddington award upon its initial release. Now with a completely revised and redesigned edition Wittenberg has won another major award.

“Considering that the original edition of the book won an award, I find it especially gratifying that the new edition was also recognized,” said Wittenberg. “The new edition is a completely different book, and it deserves to be judged on its own merits. I’m grateful to the good folks at Savas Beatie for sharing my vision for it, and I am similarly grateful to the Army Historical Foundation for honoring it.”

Gettysburg’s Forgotten Cavalry Actions is a fully revised edition that adds extensive new research, interpretations, and conclusions about the Battle of Gettysburg’s Farnsworth’s Charge, South Cavalry Field, and the Battle of Fairfield, July 3, 1863. The revised edition includes: nearly 15,000 words of new material, including a new appendix (co-authored with J. David Petruzzi), a walking and driving tour complete with GPS coordinates, updated photographs to reflect the modern appearance of the Gettysburg battlefield, and a new map.

"Gettysburg’s Forgotten Cavalry Actions is an influential book and we are honored that it was given this prestigious award," explained Savas Beatie’s Managing Director Theodore P. Savas. "Eric is a true trail blazer in the arena of Civil War Cavalry research and writing and we are proud of our ongoing relationship with him."

Candidates are nominated by their publishers. Each candidate receives an initial screening. A select Awards Committee of distinguished military historians and writers carefully judge the finalists. Each finalist is judged against the following four criteria: Significance to U.S. Army History, quality of writing (e.g. clarity, style and analysis), historical accuracy, and presentation (e.g. use of maps, photographs or other materials).

The Distinguished Book and Article Award consists of a distinctive plaque and a nominal cash prize to the author. The winners are announced to the public at the Annual Meeting of the Army Historical Foundation in June of each year. The Army Historical Foundation, a non-profit, tax-exempt organization, is dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of the American soldier. Its goal is to promote greater public appreciation for the contributions that America’s Army – Active, Reserve, and National Guard – has made to the nation in 233 years of service.

The AHF Distinguished Writing Awards program was established in 1997 to recognize authors who make a significant contribution to the literature on U.S. Army history. Each year nominations are submitted to the Awards Committee by publishers and journal editors. A small group of finalists are selected and a final judging is made. For more information on the Foundation and its activities, please visit the AHF website.

Savas Beatie announces the debut of the Savas Beatie Forum

PRESS RELEASE: Savas Beatie announces the debut of the

Savas Beatie Forum

Savas Beatie Forum: http://www.savasbeatie.com/forum/

Savas Beatie is pleased to announce the launch of a forum that is dedicated to Savas Beatie books and authors.

Forums are used as a place for people to talk about shared topics of interest with others online. Savas Beatie hopes to use the Savas Beatie forum as a place for military history fans to gather and discuss not only their favorite books, but other news in the military history world. Savas Beatie also wants to provide the opportunity for fans to be in direct contact with their favorite authors.

“One of our goals is to provide a place where our history enthusiast-readers can learn about and discuss our recent and upcoming titles,” said Marketing Director Sarah Keeney. “We are excited to announce the Savas Beatie Forum and our authors’ participation in it as a way of achieving this goal.”

The forum, launched last week, has several forum boards that forum users can peruse. The boards include general discussion about Savas Beatie books, events, and authors, a board devoted to future releases, and several boards managed by Savas Beatie authors themselves.

The authors involved on the forum include, Scott Mingus (author of Flames Beyond Gettysburg), J. David Petruzzi (author of The Complete Gettysburg Guide), Brian Jordan (author of Unholy Sabbath), Eric Wittenberg (author of Gettysburg’s Forgotten Cavalry Actions), and Charlie Knight (author of Valley Thunder), among others. Savas Beatie intends to add additional authors within the first few weeks of the forum’s launch.

“The Savas Beatie forum is a great way for authors to connect with their readership, answering any questions about our books or promoting upcoming works,” said author, Scott Mingus. “It has also sparked ideas for potential new works suggested by the readers.”

The Savas Beatie forum can be found on the homepage (www.savasbeatie.com).
