AUTHOR TAKEOVER coming this Monday, Jan 15, 2024!
Where I'll introduce my new novel, ANYWHERE BUT SCHUYLKILL, and you can ask me questions about the book, the historical context in which it takes place, my research, the characters, and other related questions. AND I’ll be giving away FREE copies of my novel!!!
About ANYWHERE BUT SCHUYLKILL: In 1877, twenty Irish coal miners hanged for a terrorist conspiracy that never occurred. Anywhere But Schuylkill is the story of one who escaped, Mike Doyle, a teenager trying to keep his family alive during the worst depression the nation has ever faced. Banks and railroads are going under. Children are dying of hunger. The Reading Railroad has slashed wages and hired Pinkerton spies to infiltrate the miners’ union. And there is a sectarian war between rival gangs. But none of this compares with the threat at home.

Have you read THE NARROW LAND (Atlantic Books) by Christine Dwyer Hickey? The novel, which won the eleventh #WalterScottPrize, explores the marriage of the artists Edward and Jo Hopper.
#WritingWonders June 8: How are weddings celebrated in your WIP world?
There were three types of weddings in ancient Rome (which obviously carries over to Pompeii). An excellent overview may be found at the link below, which covers not only the types of weddings but also the expected/appropriate clothing, ring, etc.
May's My #WorldReads#Readalong book is set in #WW2 Poland & based on real events, written by Spanish author Mario Escobar. I think this is going to be a pretty dark story.
The Teacher Of Warsaw has 45 chapters so that's roughly 11 chapters per week. I'm going to listen to the #audiobook narrated by Zach Hoffman, which I bought @ Libro.fm https://tidd.ly/3LEyqGF (aff link)
