 Author Megan Hardgrave is proud to announce the Ebook publication of Ride With the Assassin. Her story is inspired by a real boy who held the reins of Booth’s horse on April 14, 1865. Interest in the story began with a junior high bus ride home as she had a book The Assassination open on her lap. Classmates peered over the seats and began looking at the book’s escape route map and pictures. They saw a picture of a woodcut of Booth on horseback escaping from the back of the theater, and next to the stage back door stood a kid, and one boy asked, “Who was the kid?”

Her book answers the question. It’s a new historical fiction novel focusing on the Lincoln Assassination from a teenage witness perspective. The plot revolves around Mark, a boy who unwittingly helps John Wilkes Booth escape from Ford's Theater after he assassinates President Lincoln. For 12 exciting days he travels with Booth along his escape route. It is inspired by a boy who held the reins of Booth's horse on April 14, 1865.

Megan lives in Texas.
