My name is Joanne Shelby-Klein and I am a Registered Nurse of 26 years with a love of American History and Writing. I have completed my first Historical Fiction Novel entitled " I Will Do It". It is now available at www.xlibris.com. I am a Living Historian of 19 years primarily of the Civil War Mid Victorian era. I hope to continue writing and sharing stories from the America's past as well as my research on the Victorian Era in America. Writing has always been a love of mine. I am thankful now for the opportunity to share the gift God has given to me.
