My Blog:

My character-driven historical fiction grips readers' emotions and surprises them with unexpected twists. In Silk: Caroline's Story, the first installment of The Silk Trilogy, “The social realism of Jane Austen meets the Southern Gothic of Flannery O’Connor.” It's 1899 in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, and Caroline must choose between the town doctor and a good-natured farmer, all the while oblivious to a young sociopath who is not about to let this happen. Full of laughter and heartache—with a sinister thread—the next two generations of the family continue the trilogy in Tapestry: A Lowcountry Rapunzel and Homespun. Other novels are in the works, but I often feel more like blathering about my reading and writing than actually doing it, so I've opened this venue for sharing my thoughts with you—about books already written (by me and by others), those yet to come, and a few about life in general!

The Blue by Nancy Bilyeau


Swashbuckling, 18th-century fun!  I enjoyed Genevieve's consistently headstrong character. She was so flawed and yet so strong in her beliefs, nearly ruining everything with her lack of caution in the end! The setting of a porcelain factory was interesting and different, while her Huguenot background presented a novel perspective I appreciate, having Huguenot ancestry in our family tree as well.  So far, I recommend almost anything by Nancy Bilyeau as a fun, generally clean read.
