Steve Hedgpeth

Former journalist Steve Hedgpeth, a native of Baltimore who served time over 23 years at the Baltimore News-American, the Bucks County Courier Times and the Newark Star-Ledger, published his first Kindle book, "What They Did There: Profiles from the Battle of Gettysburg," in 2014. The book has since become an e-book best-seller in the genres of Civil War and Gettysburg history. His second book, "Throne of Games: English First Division Football, 1958-1972," crossed the Atlantic to chronicle a singular era in the history of British sport. Hedgpeth's third book, "Shake It Up, Baby," traces the link between American songwriters and the Beatles-led British Invasion of the '60s.
