Not ready for publication

Very interesting premise but needs a lot more editing and proofreading as it was barely readable in places due to the poor grammar. It seemed like a first draft as even the quotation marks for the dialogue were done incorrectly. With revisions this could have been a good story, but needs proofreading, more character development of main characters and less development of minor characters. I have to wonder about these 5 star reviews. Did they read a later, more polished edition? Because the book I read needed an editor.

By far the best historical romance novel I have ever read. The author captures the true nature of what it means to be in love. It has romance, mystery, history and action. It truly is a book for everyone. I cannot wait to read more by this author and very highly recommend this book to anyone willing to take the journey into a world of true love.

The Gettysburg Ghost

I loved this book! I finished the book in two days - I did not want it to end...What a beautiful story - so well written...It took me to a place I needed to see & feel. I enjoyed the blend of romance, mystery & spirituality. I look forward to reading more of Philip Rogone's books. This would make a great movie as well! Loved it...

A Most BEAUTIFUL Love Story

As young children Daniel Sutherland and Sarah McKee met, fell in love, and knew one day they would wed. Their plans to wed would be delayed when war broke out and the call to serve and preserve the country Daniel dearly loved beckoned so with promises to write every day Daniel went off to fight. At first the letters came regularly then after some months went by without word from Sarah, Daniel learned from a new recruit that back home he'd been reported as killed. What shocked Daniel most was that Sarah had wed his best friend so soon after hearing of his death. Terribly hurt and bereft of hope the inconsolable Captain Daniel Sutherland bravely led his men in a battle in which he was mortally wounded. He died in Trostle House where his spirit remained as he couldn't resolve the conflict of why Sarah, whom he loved so dearly and thought loved him, would have married so soon after hearing of his death. Some 140 years later a very sad and beautiful Lindy Dennsison and her friend Jane arrived at Trostle House for the 136th Annual Gettysburg Reenactment. Having just come off of another failed relationship Lindy had decided to start life anew. However, she could never have imagined that the ghost she encountered in her room would reach out and teach her the true meaning of love. There are times when I am simply at a loss for words, when beautiful, gorgeous, heartfelt, and memorable just aren't strong enough to describe the feelings that a story suggests. It took me a while to read through this short novella because of tears that streamed down my face caused by the sheer emotional intensity of writing that this beautiful love story evoked. Mr. Rogone's writing was pure poetry. The letters from Daniel to his beloved Sarah were so heart-wrenchingly beautiful that I had to re-read them several times through tear-filled eyes. While Daniel and Sarah's story was so heart wrenchingly sad, Rogone ventured further in picking up the various threads of other peoples lives and weaving them all together in one believable story to bring forth the truth of that long ago betrayal. In so doing he brings new hope and love to those in the present. This was a truly beautiful and moving love story that should make anyone yearn for that once in a lifetime special soul mate that so few of us are able to find. Rogone will not disappoint with this dramatically moving, memorable and engaging love story. If you are in love or hope to be some day, this would make the perfect gift for that very special someone in your life, or just as a gift to yourself.
