Sneak Peek at Sarah Cass's An Uncivil War
12:00 AM

Cathay couldn’t sit still in a hospital with little to do but create comfort. More than anything, she felt drawn to the battlefield, to the immediacy of need.
“Miss Wright,” Dr. Douglass snapped in her ear, “wake up. There are men that need attending to.”
Cathay let one eye pop open. A wagon stood ready and Dr. Douglass held his bag in his still blood-stained hand. She straightened. “You’re heading to the field?”
“Of course I am. Now get on inside.”
Propriety warred against her building need and she spoke out of turn, “If you please, I could help you, sir.”
An all too familiar twist of his lips darkened the doctor’s features. With one statement, she’d managed to revive his dislike of the presence of all the female nurses so close to battle. “It isn’t your concern. You’ve already seen too much.”
Sarah Cass’s world is regularly turned upside down by her three special-needs kids and loving mate, so she breaks genre barriers, dabbling in horror, straight fiction, and urban fantasy. An ADD tendency leaves her with a variety of interests that include singing, dancing, crafting, cooking, and being a photographer. She fights through the struggles of the day, knowing the battles are her crucible and though she may emerge scarred, she’s also stronger. Her first full length novel, Changing Tracks, is due to release in February with another novel set for release in April. While busy creating worlds and characters as real to her as her own family, she leads an active online life with her blog, Redefining Perfect, which gives real and sometimes raw glimpses into her life and art.
