Read them in order. The series is set on the Sea Islands of South Carolina during the
Civil War — the first ground where slavery fell and freedom had to be built from scratch.
Book One
Sea Islands Freedom: A Civil War Novel — Expanded Edition
The Sea Islands of South Carolina, 1861–63. Union forces arrive, slavery falls, and
freedom comes all at once to people who have waited generations for it. Samuel and Eliza
face what freedom asks next — work, family, and the call to defend it.
The novel draws on the real history of the Port Royal Experiment, the Combahee River
Raid, and the First South Carolina Volunteers — the first regiment raised from formerly
enslaved men.
The new Expanded Edition is sold only here — the fullest telling of
Book One, with the “Story Behind the Story” history companion, and it is not
on Amazon or anywhere else.

Book Two
Sea Islands Freedom: The Chalk and the Sword
“Freedom had come. Now came what it would cost.”
The sequel to Sea Islands Freedom. Samuel Carter's story continues — because
winning freedom was only the first chapter of keeping it.

Book One's, it will be sold only here, on this site.

Book Three In planning
Sea Islands Freedom — Book Three
The third book in the series is in planning now, being built chapter by chapter the
same way the first two were. When there is news — a title, a date, a first chapter — it
will be announced here first.
The first novel Gary “Chris” Lamb published — and the start of the Robert Randall books.
The Betrayal: A Robert Randall Novel · Book One
The Secret: The Plot to Kill Jefferson Davis
Savannah, 1861. Private Seth Randall overhears Confederate officers plotting to
kill Jefferson Davis — and is murdered for what he heard. His brother Nate, a Savannah
storekeeper who reads men the way hunters read the woods, rides north to find the
killers. What he doesn't know is that a government investigator named Vale is
hunting him.
The Secret was the first novel Gary “Chris” Lamb published, back in 2014. This
new edition is rebuilt from his original Randall drafts and finished the way it was
meant to be told — and it is sold only here, not on Amazon or
anywhere else.

Personal finance Coming soon
From Bankruptcy to Financial Clarity
A short, plain-spoken book from Chris's own life: the mistakes that built the fall,
rock bottom, and the reset — then the rebuild, discipline over emotion, and the simple
system that actually changed things. No jargon and no hype, from a man who had to learn
it the hard way.
Coming soon from Spanish Moss Digital.
