I am beyond excited to announce that I am working with Acorn Publishing for my historical fiction novel, Hatfield, 1677.

I found the inspiration for this novel in 1992, wrote a partial first draft in 1995—and then set it aside for twenty-five years. But good stories never die, and when life hands you retirement and a pandemic, you write a novel, so I began it again in June of 2020.

I completed Hatfield 1677, including numerous revisions, in 2023, and am looking forward to a planned release in May, 2024.

The image below is how I picture Martha Waite, my protagonist and my 9th great-grandmother, a Puritan farm wife living in Hatfield, Massachusetts Bay Colony.
