The Villages Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution will host award-winning author Mark Barie at their June 12 meeting.
Barie has authored several books on American history plus two historic novels. His first novel, “War Calls, Love Cries,” a Civil War love story, was a finalist in the Eric Hoffer Book Awards, and was awarded a gold medal for Historical Fiction by the Florida Authors and Publishers Association. His most recent novel is about a nun who leaves the convent and ends up spying for George Washington. As a result of writing “Sister Marguerite and the Captain,” Barie gathered information for his talk entitled: “Seven Facts About the Revolutionary War that will Shock You.”
Originally from upstate New York, Mark and his wife, Christine, now live full time in Sebring, Florida.
The SAR group will meet at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 12 in the Burnsed Recreation Center located at 4019 Deskin Lane. Visitors are welcome.
