My newest book, The Vital Principle, was just released at Amazon. I'm ecstatic. It's a historical mystery set in the early years of the 19th century.

ReplyDeleteThe Reluctant Marquess
Blurb: A country-bred girl, Charity Barlow always intended to marry for love like her parents. She suddenly finds herself married to a marquess, her new husband an aloof stranger determined to keep his thoughts and feelings to himself. She and Lord Robert have been forced by circumstances to marry, and she feels she is not the woman he would have chosen to marry given a choice. He makes it plain that marriage is merely for the procreation of an heir, and once that is achieved, he intends to continue living the life in London he enjoyed before he met her. Charity may then return to the country. While Lord Robert pursues his own interests, Charity wanders the echoing corridors of St Malin House, when she isn't thrown into the midst of the clever and mocking Haute Ton. She's not at all sure she likes them, as they live by their own rules which seem rather shocking. She's not at all sure she likes her new husband either, except for his blue, blue eyes, the panther-like way he walks and the hot expression in his eyes when he looks at her that sets her pulses racing. He is a rake and doesn't deserve her love, but neither does she wish to live alone. Lord Robert appears quite willing to do his duty, but Charity demands love and affection nothing else will do. Will he ever love her?

ReplyDeleteMy historical novel, Corn Silk Days, Iowa, 1862
Corn Silk Days is the dramatic story of two families, four generations, during a time when the United States was seriously divided by war, North against South, brother against brother, father against son; a time of upheaval, distress, and death. Adding to the horrific war time events were the struggles within four generations of one family and extended family as they dealt with family secrets, denials, fears, challenges, love, romance, grief, healing, and courage. In the summer of 1862, Iowa farmer, Silas Storm, volunteers for the Union Army and his wife, Elizabeth Jane, pregnant with their second child, must maintain their farm and meet the many challenges the absence of her husband creates.
The wise patriarch, Alexander Storm, Silas' grandfather, struggles to keep the families in a stable condition as best he can, but circumstances, events, and family dynamics, make it nearly impossible to do so. The war not only becomes a life-changing event for Silas and other family on the battlefield, but also for those at home who find their own lives changing drastically while facing adversity. Like Silas Storm, dodging the next Rebel bullet that may pierce the air, they, too, must deal with their fears and transform those fears into courage. The question is: will they be able to do that?
Although the book is a fictional account of life during the Civil War, author Linda Pendleton, has woven actual letters written by her great-great grandfather into her story, staying true to the military facts presented in his letters home to his wife.

ReplyDeleteBack Ward
Aberdeen State Mental Hospital, Alabama, 1950 - a place where a twelve-year-old child has died in an iron cage kept in the attic room above the back ward and where patients with dark black circles around their eyes roam the remote ward on the asylum grounds. Nurses Judith and Jean frantically attempt to solve the mystery of the child’s death and the fate of patients transferred to a research unit in the hospital.
What is happening on this unit that turns these patients into the black eyes, walking automatons unable to relate their terrifying stories?
Ella Land is committed to Aberdeen State Mental Hospital by her husband, Gerald, an aspiring New York politician, who believes her psychic readings and casting of astrological charts are dabbling with the devil and destined to ruin his chances for governor of New York. Despite the courageous actions of Judith and Jean, Ella is transferred to the back ward. Time is running out as Judith attempts to reach Angela Cutoni, Ella’s long time friend, who holds the key to Ella’s release from the hospital and Gerald’s political demise.
History has been replete with whistle blowers who have changed the landscape of institutions and even societies at great physical or financial risk to themselves. Whistle-blowing is taking deliberate action to disclose activities or practices believed to be harmful, illegal, unethical or discriminatory generally within an organization or institution. The courageous women in this novel who reveal the barbaric treatment of the mentally ill embody the personal characteristics of modern day whistle blowers: principled individuals with strong ethical convictions, high levels of empathy for others, and universal standards of justice associated with humane treatment and human rights.
