Featured Post: When Light Breaks Through: A Salem Witch Trials Story by Brenda Murphy

Leave a Comment

About When Light Breaks Through: A Salem Witch Trials Story:

When Light Breaks Through takes us beyond the witch trials to tell a riveting, expansive story of what happened in Salem Village.

1692. In what begins as a daring adolescent game, twelve-year-old Ann Putnam becomes a ringleader of the “afflicted children” who accuse scores of people of witchcraft, resulting in twenty executions and untold misery for those imprisoned and their families in Massachusetts and Maine.

1697. Joseph Green, a young schoolteacher who is in love and eager to marry, takes on the Salem Village ministry that no one else wants and sets about mending the bitter discord that divides the congregation and the village. With his wife Elizabeth, he gradually earns the respect and trust of his congregation, eventually taking some dramatic actions that move the people to confront their future together as a community.

1706. With Joseph’s help, Ann delves into the darkness of her past, uncovering startling truths about her family and her childhood motivations. Standing before the neighbors whose loved ones she has sent to jail or to their deaths, she makes an appeal that could finally unite the people in forgiveness.

The compelling narrative takes us from the girlhood friendship of Ann and Abigail Williams, the other ringleader in the witch trials, to the intense, often shocking drama of the trials themselves, and to the small farming village on the edge of the frontier in 17th-century Massachusetts where Joseph Green pursues his quest to unite a bitterly divided people.

Featured Post: One Night With Finnbar by Leo D’Lance

About One Night With Finnbar:

One Night With Finnbar is the story of two men; Martin Atwater and Finnbar, a bondservant.
This tale of revenge, blackmail, betrayal, and murder is set in the Georgian era of 1767, in London, England where the infraction of any of the over 160 laws in the Bloody Code could see a man hanged.
It begins when Martin visits his uncle’s country estate where he discovers a strikingly handsome stable boy; a bondservant called Finnbar.
Martin’s uncle has secured a commission for him in the Royal Fusiliers, and he convinces his uncle to allow him to take Finnbar along to be trained as his orderly. Back in London, waiting for the commencement of his enlistment, Martin grows bored and restless. He quickly falls back into his old routine of drinking, gambling, and a barely closeted homosexual lifestyle. It’s only a matter of time before it all catches up with him. Finnbar is forced to live by his own resources when he is turned away from the posh gentlemen’s club where Martin is staying. But London is an unforgiving place for a country boy, and Finnbar must quickly learn how to navigate this dangerously unfamiliar world.
Just as Martin’s plans for escaping his ill-spent past seem to be coming together, Edmond Mattox, a sinister figure from his boarding school days, appears on the scene to exact revenge and settle an old score.
To satisfy his blackmailer’s demands, Martin sacrifices Finnbar. Then, in a fit of rage, he murders Mattox. But who will pay the price?
This story has been described as a modern literary classic. While the theme is dark, reviewers say the characters are compelling, and the writing and historical details are unassailable. It has been observed that there are no heroes in this story; only victims. Written for an adult readership.

Featured Post: After the Voyage by Brenda Murphy

About After the Voyage:

At the heart of After the Voyage is an American immigrant family making its way forward on a road that is sometimes rocky and steep. From different counties in Ireland, Maggie Qualter and Richard Terrett both sail to America as young adults in 1870 after surviving Ireland’s Great Hunger as children. Maggie works as a maid for a wealthy family. Richard finds work in a tannery. After the death of the young wife he loves passionately, Richard marries Maggie with the help of a deceptive go-between who brews trouble in their marriage that never goes away. They raise three children in the midst of Irish American culture, the Catholic Church, and Richard’s battles for the workingman in the Knights of Labor. Their daughter Mary dreams of being a nun, while Josie seeks the freedom of big-city life in Boston. Neither reckons on the future she will face, Mary as a wife and mother of nine children and Josie as a single working woman. Tom escapes factory life by joining the Navy, manages to see the world in the midst of two wars, and comes home to marry his sweetheart and start a new life. Their stories are both remarkable and familiar to everyone whose ancestors made their way to and in America.
The events in the Terretts’ lives are as they emerge from the public record. But their inner lives, their thoughts, their relationships, their words are imagined as a route to understanding these five complicated and fascinating people.

Featured Post: Cracking of the Mask by Alexander and Maria Green

About Cracking of the Mask:

A businessman pens a historical novel set in the mysterious land of ancient Thrace, then re-examines it, convinced the book contains clues to help him resolve his troubled past. An epic tale of adventure, battles, and political intrigues—but also of self-discovery, transformation, and personal healing—Cracking of the Mask brings together two worlds and two eras that, at first glance, have little in common.
