It's been a while coming, like so many things in our lives today, but I'm happy to announce the release of my new book, Coppertown.
The cover is the result of yet another fantastic collaboration with John Doppler
over at Random Tangent Press, and is the perfect representation for this story. I am
thrilled it will grace the cover of the book.
"A bird and a fish may fall in love, but where would they live?"
In 1898 Boston society, Josephine Shipton’s bicycle riding
is scandalous, but her arrest is intolerable. Exiled to rural Vermont, instead
of the planned ostracism, the heiress finds opportunity and new experiences.
Free of societal constraints and her overbearing stepmother, Josephine
discovers not only a fascination with the medical profession, but a passion to
help others. This passion turns to something deeper when she tends a seriously
injured miner.
Braxton Beaumont was a handsome child of the
streets—who
grew to a man savvy enough to use that attractiveness to his
advantage...amassing a fortune along the way. But when he strides into the Coppertown,
posing as a miner, neither his wealth nor strength can save him when the mine collapses.
Josephine and Braxton hail from different worlds. But
neither
social rank nor circumstances can stop the swell of sensations
as old
as time. Even if they surrender to this ill-fated love,
will there ever be a
place in society for the millionaire and the miner?
Coming February 25th
