Making History Come Alive

General Houston's Little Spy: A Texas Revolution Story

Young Samantha Russell wants only to marry her fiance, Danny Autry, and move to Texas.  But once there, they soon find themselves caught up in the Texan settlers' struggle against the Mexican dictator, Santa Anna, and his tyrannical rule.  After tragedy strikes at the Alamo, Samantha embarks on a dangerous mission to assist General Houston and his fledgling army in their fight against Santa Anna's superior military force.

Sophia's Storm

This is an historical fiction novel centered around the 1900 Galveston Storm.  Guided by the spirit of her recently deceased Great Aunt Sophia,  Sophie Reiter finds her great-aunt's journal detailing her life during the worst storm in U.S. history along with information alluding to a long buried family secret.  Can Sophie figure out what  Aunt Sophia is trying to tell her from beyond the grave? 

Leah's Legacy - Available Now

This is  my first adult  historical fiction novel.   

Caitlin Rhodes, a young woman just beginning her career as a teacher, goes with her mother, Leslie, to the small community of Friendship to clean its little country church for her family’s annual Memorial Day celebration. While cleaning the pulpit, she makes a startling discovery; an ancient scroll that sheds new light on the life of Jesus and has the potential to revolutionize church doctrine.  This fantastic discovery soon leads Caitlin and Kyle, her boyfriend, on an exciting and ultimately dangerous adventure through Rome’s narrow cobbled streets, the Colosseum’s dank walls echoing with ghostly violence, and the regal ruins of the ancient city.

Review for General Houston's Little Spy

Mr. Charles Williams, Executive Director of the Will Rogers Medallion Award Committee stated:   “The BRONZE Medal winner wrote an excellent story based on the Texas Revolution…Cara Skinner’s book called General Houston’s Little Spy achieved the bronze medal with a well-researched, well written story about a pivotal time in Texas.  It is a book that belongs in every public school library in Texas, as it brings to life in a very readable, clear and exciting way a confused and confusing episode in the fight for Texas Independence.”

Review for General Houston's Little Spy

Feathered Quill Says: Great for many age groups, this book proves that history can come alive if delivered by a writer who knows her subject and loves to research.
