Carrie had always lived a charmed life, but restlessness gnawed at her soul. She dreamed of a different future, but dramatic changes are taking place in the South. Her heart and mind would soon be tested by fire – sweeping away dreamed of freedom as chaos descends.
Carrie Cromwell comes of age as the storm clouds of the Civil War swallow America. Born with a fiery spirit and a strong mind, she finds herself struggling between the common wisdom of the South and the truth she has discovered. The activities of the Underground Railroad and her close friendships with the Cromwell Plantation slaves create difficult choices. But when her decisions put her at odds with her heritage and challenge her dreams, will she be able to give up all that is precious to her?
***************
This first book of The Bregdan Chronicles historical fiction series will pull you in and never let you go. You’ll experience the Civil War era (and all the years to come) through the eyes of both White and Black, Free & Slave, Southern & Northern – and you’ll fall in love with every character.
Review: I never thought I would find a series to enthrall me like The Bregdan Chronicles has. I was wrong! I am struggling to find appropriate words to describe the awe I am in, and find myself failing miserably. I absolutely could not put these books down. I would finish one, and immediately hop online to go get the next one, sometimes in the wee hours of the morning, when my tail should have been asleep. The writing style of this author brings you right into the story as if you are a part of it. She has amazing talent to capture the imagination, and bring you right into a virtual reality. I have fallen in love with every one of these characters – especially the strong women! – and have become completely entranced with each life represented.
The historical account of this time period was so right on, so very vivid, you almost feel like you’ve walked right into it. These books became so alive, I actually had dreams at night of battle. (I’m not even kidding.) But it goes further. There were conversations in these books that had me reading over

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
After years of writing teen fiction, my publishers asked me if I would write historical fiction. I've always loved reading it, so I eagerly agreed.
Then they asked me what I was going to write about. That stumped me, because I had no idea. I told them I would get back to them when I had an answer!
I was living in Richmond, VA at the time – surrounded by the history of the Civil War. An experience at a reenactment for Chimborazo Hospital, inspired my passion to tell the TRUTH about that time.
You see, if you're from the South, you learn about the Civil War one way. If you're from the North, you learn about it a different way. If you're from the Midwest… I think you have the idea.
The problem is that no one is taught the truth! I decided it was time to remedy that by creating powerful characters and being completely anal about historical accuracy.
So far there are 19 books in the series, but there are many more to come. I don't like a good story to end either!
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Good question. Without wanting to sound too simplistic, they simply came to life on my computer screen, taking on their fullness as history unfolded before them.
White. Black. Southern. Northern. Female. Male. Liberal. Conservative. Slave. Free.
You'll find them all in the books I write.
