He made an oath. He switched sides to keep it. Lummy Tullos took an oath to fight for home and family under the flag of the Confederacy. He gave his heart, mind, and nearly his body to protect his friends and defeat the blue invader. That oath lost its meaning at the surrender of Vicksburg. After ending the murderous reign of the outlaw Rebel Home Guard responsible for his wife's death, Lummy wants just one thing-to put the twentieth star for Mississippi back on the flag of his ancestors. Though happy to be with his family on the Tullos farm in Choctaw County, Lummy finds little peace as the War Between the States rages on. He joins with new friends loyal to the Union to help end the killing and destruction at home but realizes that it's not enough. Lummy's convinced his loyalty and dedication will now best serve ending the war by switching sides. Taking the new oath, he must leave to do the one thing he never wanted. He simply has no other choice-he'll fight to do whatever it takes to end the war. He just didn't know it would bring the war to his own hometown. And it won't be a gray uniform he'll be wearing. No, this time it'll be blue.

His short stories and poetry have won multiple awards and have been published in Saddlebag Dispatches, The Vault of Terror, and The Avocet: A Journal of Nature Poetry. One of those stories, "Not So Long in the Tooth," won a Will Rogers Medallion in the Best Western Short Fiction category for 2021.When not writing, Anthony enjoys roaming and researching historical sites, camping and kayaking on the Mississippi River, and being with family. Anthony, and his wife, Lisa, live in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
