After rescuing the Americans from the clutches of the British by traveling back in time to save the American Revolution, Thomas Nelson believes he can rest and enjoy his new 18th-century life with his wife, family, and new business. But history only can change so much. When an acquaintance from future comes to 1789 to tell him his best friend and the person who set the whole plan in motion, Aden, is lost in time and needs help, Thomas doesn’t hesitate to grab his guns and black vest and take up the mantle as the Pale Rider once more. Only this time, he has to leave his wife Annie for the year 1814. Thomas becomes the Pale Rider and sets out to rescue Aden, while also meeting Andrew Jackson for his battle at New Orleans. Altering the outcome of the War of 1812 was, after all, the reason Aden tried to go back in time. But the rumors of the Pale Rider still find it way among the docks and inns, only, it is not Thomas of whom they speak. It seems a pirate has adopted the name for himself, riding on Thomas’s reputation. And it seems that this pirate works with the infamous Lafitte brothers — which makes Thomas’s mission as the actual Pale Rider more difficult. Yet a larger question looms — do these pirates have Aden and all of Aden’s 21st-century technology? And worse, if they do have Aden, can Thomas get him back? Because pirates do not like to give up any bounty they have found. And with Aden, they have found a valuable bounty indeed. Then, if Thomas manages to pull off the impossible, save Aden, and change the course of America’s history once more, can he live long enough to travel back to Annie and his family? Aden’s Chance is the fourth book in the Pale Rider series, an alternate American Historical Military retelling, and is the first book in the next trilogy set which focuses on the War of 1812. If you like American history, time travel, and alternate historical fiction, then discover Aden’s Chance today! “it is recommended that the books are read in order! $3.99 on Kindle.

One night, as a full moon illuminated a battlefield and the sound of shells pounding the muddy waterlogged earth slowly faded, I saw a man moving in the shadows in no man’s land. Three years later, I encountered him again under very different circumstances. The ‘war to end all wars’ had finished. Its completion had cut short the stories of so many and uncovered one that needed a narrator—to reveal a truth and heal the wounds of broken survivors—providence had chosen me—the least likely to be believed.

Modern Women: breaking the mould is a series of four novels set in the past about women who confounded the restrictions the society of the day imposed on them. Set in the Roaring Twenties and Edwardian Britain (in that order), each book features a different female protagonist: from straitlaced Claudia, who discovers there is more to life than lying back and thinking of England, to Violet, the vicar’s daughter who eschews the confines of married life to forge a career working backstage in a theatre. The author has had the nerve to include a number of real-life characters in her books, including Noel Coward, Mrs Patrick Campbell, the great actor-manager Herbert Beerbohm Tree and the pioneering suffragist, Mrs Millicent Fawcett. My heroines are linked to one another socially and the series can be read in order, but each book is a separate standalone. Light-hearted in tone but often serious in content, the books are very firmly rooted in the days of women’s fight for the right to vote, to the short-skirts and corset-free times of the Roaring Twenties.

In a small 18th century American village, where the streams ran cool and clean, the soil was loamy, and the people prospered, repeated attempts to end the pregnancy of a prominent young woman resulted in her gruesome death. The Murder of Sarah Grosvenor is a compelling work of historical fiction which revisits those shocking days of deceit, betrayal, and malevolence during the “Age of Enlightenment,” and then further imagines what led to the multiple arrest warrants which were finally issued for the horrific crime some three years later. The factual details of this story may be centuries-old, but The Murder of Sarah Grosvenor is as familiar as contemporary stories of entrenched power and privilege; positions which, when cruelly asserted, demand silence so that the guilty may avoid accountability. A predecessor to modern social warriors, one mythical and courageous child-hero, Rebecca, was willing to risk everything in the pursuit of justice, and it is because of her that the tale of Sarah Grosvenor can at last be told.
