Tobacco Republic
R. A. Moss
WHAT IF... the 13 colonies never united?
​
In the twenty-first century, the nations of Virginia and the People’s Republic of Pennsylvania are vassals in a proxy war between the world’s superpowers: Francia and the Soviet Union. Olivia Braxton of Virginia and Brody Linn of Pennsylvania are covert enemy operatives thrown together by the swirl of pre-war intrigue. Can their sudden attraction survive as their nations rush headlong into war?
Woven into the twenty-first century story are scenes from the past. In a vivid narrative that imagines thoughts and dialog, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon Bonaparte and other seminal figures reveal the events behind this alternative history.

I earned my keep as a writer long before penning KING ROBIN, and my upcoming alternative history, TOBACCO REPUBLIC. Under my birth name, I've authored four novels in other genres that earned accolades from Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, and USA Today. Along with being a presenter at book festivals and author conferences in Arkansas, California, Ohio and Wisconsin, my work has been featured nationwide on TV, radio and publications in print and on the web.
