The Colonial Trio

Although most of my books are set in the 1800s, which seems to be a favorite among historical fiction readers, three are set in the 1700s: When Winter Is Past, A Bird in the Hand, and my newest, South to Freedom. I'm not calling them a trilogy, because they're not connected otherwise, but they are special.

When Winter Is Past is set in Pennsylvania in 1739. Stanton Klein’s father hadgiven up on life after his wife died and left Stanton orphaned to live with hisgrandparents. He decided he would never love like that. He and his first wifehad fared well together, but she’d died in childbirth. Now he’s decided to findanother woman to marry. After all, a farmer needs a wife and sons. However,with the changes come important lessons and dangers that Stanton neverimagined.

Beth Evans has taken care of her father, sincehe fell from a barn roof and can no longer walk. People, like Fiona, havealways made fun of her because she has a limp. When Stanton befriends her,she’s wary but also intrigued. What does her future hold?
A Bird in the Hand starts in Pennsylvania in 1776 and ends in what will become West Virginia. JocelynWright would prefer to be outside with her twin brother instead of inside drawingrooms and attending social events. She has had to hide her true self and pretend to bethe young lady everyone expects. But as Jonas leaves to attend PhiladelphiaCollege, the colonies’ rebellion against the crown heats up, her family isforced to quarter British soldiers, and Bennet Hart comes into the picture, she knows her future is bound to hold many changes. 
My newest book, South to Freedom, is the story of slaves escaping South Carolina in 1739 to go to Florida, where the Spanish will grant them freedom. When the master’s son pays far too much unwanted attention to Mae Briscoe, she decides to leave the plantation. She knows the trek will be rough, and it will behard adapting to a new culture, but given the circumstances, the call offreedom is too strong to resist. Thus, she begins an adventure of a lifetime,heading south to freedom in Florida.
