Sweet Success for Mike Torreano!

Published November 9, 2023

Hats off to Mike Torreano! The Wild Rose Press is excited to announce the publication of FIREFLIES AT DUSK. This is the first historical novel from award-winning Colorado author Mike Torreano after his four traditional Western mysteries. FIREFLIES AT DUSK explores the tumultuous historical era before and during the Civil War, including the Underground Railroad, pacifism, and the tensions the war produced within families. The story revolves around the question, ‘Can you lose your soul and regain it?’

ABOUT THE BOOK: As the Civil War looms, a young Ohio farm boy comes face to face with the injustice of slavery—an evil that tears at his very soul. In his callow youth, he rejects his family’s pacifism after runaways are cruelly seized from his Quaker meeting house. His anger causes him to turn his back on everyone who ever loved him. When the War breaks out, Jonathan joins the Union Army, making this rift complete. Will he ever turn back to his family, his sweetheart, and his faith? Or has Jonathan drifted so far away that he can’t find his way back? Purchase copies from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookbub.
