Billy’s spirit comes back to find his bones and return them to a place where he could rest in peace. Befriended by a maintenance worker he meets in a dormitory at the Savannah College of Art and Design, Billy learns about life in the 21st Century in one of America’s most intriguing cities. The unlikely team of 18th Century ghost and 21st Century plumber learn from each other and form a close friendship as they seek a way to allow Billy to find peace befitting one who fought to earn America’s freedom. Ghosts of the Siege is a historical novel, a ghost story woven around the fabric of one of the most tragic battles fought in the American Revolution. The Siege of Savannah occurred during September and October of 1779, culminating in one of the bloodiest battles of the war, with over 800 killed or wounded. Troop movements and battle descriptions are included as accurately as possible, having been taken from eyewitness accounts and military reports. Many of the major characters…Generals Pulaski, Lincoln, D’Estaing and others… are presented as described by biographers or their own reports of the battle. The flow of the 1779 battle is also presented as an “overlay” of the modern city of Savannah, so the reader can stand on current street corners or parks..
