Today's guest is Tim Wendel, an award-winning author, sportswriter, and Writer-in-Residence at Johns Hopkins University. In this engaging interview, Tim discusses his new book, "Rebel Falls," where he weaves together fiction and history to tell the story of Rory Chase, a brave Union spy inspired by real women from the Civil War.

Betsy and Tim dive into the fascinating history of Confederate spies and the rich past of Niagara Falls during the Civil War. Tim also shares insights into his creative process and the often-overlooked battles of that era. Betsy highly recommends "Rebel Falls," which is available on Amazon and Tim's website.
