New Release: To Begin the World Again

I have a new audio short story available today called TO BEGIN THE WORLD AGAIN which tells the story of Thomas Jefferson’s writing of the Declaration of Independence during the summer of 1776 – and it is FREE this weekend only! It is beautifully and movingly narrated by Bradford Hastings and I think you’ll really enjoy it!

This story about the heady, intense, and momentous summer of 1776. Thomas Jefferson was just 33, one of the youngest members of the Second Continental Congress. He was appointed to a committee tasked with drafting a document to declare that the American colonies were to be free and independent states–absolved from all allegiance to the British crown. To Begin the World Again invites you to step inside the story of the creation of a document that would shape not only America’s history, but that of the world. And for those of you who have read America’s First Daughter, yes! Patsy is mentioned in the story–she was not quite four years old at the time!It was written for the Bardeum app, which is publishing historical fiction stories to enhance visitors’ experience while visiting historical sites around the world – but you don’t have to be at the site to listen! You just need the app on your device!

 

DOWNLOAD HERE: iTunesGoogle Play/AndroidJust in time for Memorial Day, six new stories released on the app celebrating the Washington, D.C. monuments. My story is part of the Jefferson Memorial experience, and there are also stories related to the WWII Memorial, FDR Memorial, Washington Monument, the Korean War Memorial, and the Vietnam Memorial–and they’re ALL FREE for through the Memorial Day weekend, so go download the app now and listen to them all!

One night is never enough…

For firefighter Sean Riddick, Warrior Fight Club keeps the demons of his past at bay, even though it means seeing Daniela England. Her ball-busting sarcasm drives him nuts, and he knows he’s damaged goods anyway, but he can’t help but remember how good they were together that one time. Now he wants to take her to the mats no matter how much they go toe to toe.

ER nurse Daniela England has lost so much that she’s vowed never to need anyone again. Fight club helps her beat back her survivor’s guilt, but it means dealing with Riddick. The hot-but-infuriating firefighter is everything she wants to avoid, which is why their one-night stand was a mistake. Now she needs to keep her distance so it doesn’t happen again.

But when Dani witnesses Sean’s motorcycle accident, she steps up to help him recover. One on one, they get beneath all the snark and find a connection neither expected. As Sean heals, the sparks between them burst into red-hot passion—and ignite old wounds. Now there are fires all around—and they have to decide which they’ll fight and which they’ll let consume them.

 

Let me know if you grab it! Who’s excited?!

I’m Celebrating The Women of Chateau Lafayette + Event!

I’m so thrilled to announce the release of my wonderful co-author Stephanie Dray’s newest novel, her masterful and epic, The Women of Chateau Lafayette! Stephanie has a full tour of virtual events planned that you should check out here, and we are doing an event together on April 2 that you can register here to attend!

 

✭✭✭ ABOUT THE BOOK ✭✭✭

An epic saga from New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Dray based on the true story of an extraordinary castle in the heart of France and the remarkable women bound by its legacy.

 

Most castles are protected by men. This one by women.

 

A founding mother…

 

Gently-bred noblewoman Adrienne Lafayette becomes her husband, the Marquis de Lafayette’s political partner in the fight for American independence. But when their idealism sparks revolution in France and the guillotine threatens everything she holds dear, Adrienne must renounce the complicated man she loves, or risk her life for a legacy that will inspire generations to come.

 

A daring visionary…

 

Glittering New York socialite Beatrice Chanler is a force of nature, daunted by nothing—not her humble beginnings, her crumbling marriage, or the outbreak of war. But after witnessing the devastation in France firsthand, Beatrice takes on the challenge of a lifetime: convincing America to fight for what’s right.

 

A reluctant resistor…

 

French school-teacher and aspiring artist Marthe Simone has an orphan’s self-reliance and wants nothing to do with war. But as the realities of Nazi occupation transform her life in the isolated castle where she came of age, she makes a discovery that calls into question who she is, and more importantly, who she is willing to become.

 

Intricately woven and powerfully told, The Women of Chateau Lafayette is a sweeping novel about duty and hope, love and courage, and the strength we take from those who came before us.
