Welcome

Diane at Watkins Museum
Diane Eickhoff speaks at the Watkins Museum, Lawrence, Kansas, during the annual "Civil War on the Western Frontier" symposium, August 7, 2010.

We are the publisher of Revolutionary Heart: The Life of Clarina Nichols and the Pioneering Crusade for Women’s Rights by Diane Eickhoff, and the audiobook Frontier Freedom Fighter.

If you are unfamiliar with the remarkable story of Clarina Nichols, we invite you to read, watch, and listen:

❖ READ … the first chapter of the biography Revolutionary Heart, now in its second printing.

❖ WATCH … author Diane Eickhoff on C-SPAN2’s “BookTV.”

❖ LISTEN … to this extraordinary program featuring the words of Clarina Nichols as brought to life by her biographer.

Revolutionary Heart is now in a second printing ... and ready to teach!

Now in its second printing, Revolutionary Heart has been embraced by readers and critics across the country as ‘the fascinating life story’ and ‘an important addition to American and women’s history.’ Not to mention ‘so artfully done.’ Read more or browse the table of contents.

Lawrence High School students read Revolutionary Heart as part of the “Read Across Lawrence” program. (They also invited “Mrs. Nichols” to speak, as you can see.) The response was great!  Now, your class can have the same experience using our new Teacher’s Guide and attractively-priced class set. Read more…

Revolutionary Heart was honored with the ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year Award in biography, a Willa Cather Literary Award, and a Kansas Notable Book selection. Read more…

To inspire the next generation of women, we have also published an audiobook for all ages, Frontier Freedom Fighter. Read more…

You can buy Revolutionary Heart and Frontier Freedom Fighter through your local bookseller or Amazon.com. In addition, Quindaro Press exclusively offers discounts for book groups and  the educator’s package.

Diane Eickhoff is available to speak to your group, or you can arrange to have her to perform as Clarina Nichols — using the very words of this pioneering American in a stirring portrayal that has delighted and inspired thousands since it was first presented at the 2004 Bleeding Kansas Chautauqua.
