How many books will be in the Bregdan Chronicles? No one knows yet… Ginny intends to write these character's stories, one year at a time, for as long as she is able to write. She is passionate about bringing history to life through historical fiction. Since she is amazingly healthy, that could be for a very long time! She doesn’t like stories to end any more than you do. This one won't end for a very long time! Review: The Bregdan Chronicles are the best historical fiction I have ever read. They will keep you captivated. The story plot is very well written. It makes the Civil War come alive through the lives of the characters in the story. I read for enjoyment, but I like to learn about history. I choose books that tell me something about the life and times of a certain era. I learned more from these Chronicles than I ever did in history class. Keep writing Ginny Dye. I love your books. Review: I am on the fourth book in this series and I have loved them all. The rich history, the characters and the storyline are all wonderful! I really thought I would become tired of these chronicles, but I was wrong. I would recommend these books highly. If you are a fan of Civil War stories, a powerful love story and rich, descriptive prose, then you will enjoy the Bregdan Chronicles. Review: I feel fortunate that I found this series: love it! Book 3 of the Ginny Dye Series Spring Will Come (#3 in the Bregdan Chronicles Historical Fiction) continues on with the war between the North & South. The destruction and the loss of life is horrendous and is hard to read. Unimaginable how much suffering went on for the troops. At the same time we follow the lives of the characters we've come to know. All their stories being played out in this period of time of trying to survive. The war has caused them to learn lessons about themselves and how they interact with others. For some it is extremely hard to face what they learn. I highly recommend this series. The storyline is strong and not to be ignored. The characters are very easy to get attached to. less
