Modern Women: breaking the mould

 

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.

From $0.99 to $2.99 on Kindle.

The Murder of Sarah Grosvenor

The Murder of Sarah Grosvenor

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.
