Moral Dilemmas Faced by Young Girls in Frontier Historical Fiction

Choices on the frontier were never simple—especially for young girls caught between survival, expectation, and their own sense of right and wrong. This compelling exploration reveals the moral dilemmas they faced, where every decision could shape not just their future, but their identity. Would you follow duty… or your own voice?

#WordWeavers Apr. 8 – Do any of your characters tell jokes? If so let them tell us a joke, please.

Joking seems to be the preferred mode of courtship for Jozi, the butch servant from my upcoming short Between One Word and the Next. Here's what she might have said to her girlfriend Dandi if she knew the King was working on the creation of a Korean writing system (which would evolve into Hangul):

Jozi: What's the use of reading and writing for the likes of us, eh? Though if I did learn, I'd send you letters for your right pleasure, lil lady. (Waggles eyebrows)
Dandi: And get us both beaten within an inch of our lives by palace guards for how filthy they be?
Jozi: Right you are.
Dandi: Ooh, and now you GOT to learn it. I want me letters dirty enough to get half kilt over!

Hmmm so I guess they're more of a joking duo, and also kids could you lighten up a little 😬

Crime Novels and Short Stories

We’re running a Kickstarter as of about five minutes ago. It features a brand-new crime novel that I hesitate to call historical, because part of the book is set now. I’m proud of that book, Candid Shots of the 1970s, but it also surprised me. I thought it was going to be a short story, but […]…
