*****

Book 1: London, 1799. Playing with a lad named Walter, Claire Easton learns that boys are sent to school for an education, though girls are taught to sew at home. She learns of social punition by seeing her mother receive a caning from her husband for not having born an heir.

As a young adult, Claire tries to gain employment, but is reviled for behaving like a man. Seeing her mother beaten once too often, Claire goes to Walter. She convinces him to lead her to a thugs’ roost, where Claire will purchase a thrashing for her father. Instead, thugs force Walter to have sex with Claire. The men are enjailed, and Claire becomes pregnant.

Claire is fired due to her wanton behavior. But her employer’s son, Richmond, proposes marriage. Claire accepts. After the child is born, Claire petitions for Walter’s release from prison. She tries to achieve an emotional bond with her husband, but fails. Two years later, hearing that Walter will be freed, Richmond kills himself.

Though not in love, Claire and Walter are together in life. Claire now understands that she can best succeed not by attacking society, but by progressing with her living. In 1825, Claire, Walter, and their daughter leave for America.

Books 2 and 3 tell the same story modified to account for the different settings and societies: Mid-West America, 1999; and the Moon, 2099.

About the Author

A: This is hard. Q: Why is making a bio so hard for you? A: Because it's like talking. I don't like to talk; I like to write. Q: But people want to know about authors. Reading a book requires a lot of effort. A: Writing one ain't exactly playtime. Q: That's better. Go ahead, tell us more. Did you have a pleasant childhood? A: Ask my dog; he was there. Q: Your dog is stuffed. He's not a real dog. A: He's more real than you are. You can’t even ask a good question. Q: Here’s one: Why should people read your books? A: Because my puppy will be sad if they don’t. Q: We need to get serious here. How many novels have you written? A: 33. Q: I’ll bet your dog can’t count that high. How long have you been writing? A: I’ll answer if you promise not to kick my dog again (metaphorically). Q: He wouldn’t feel it—he’s stuffed. A: If someone kicked the stuffing out of you, I bet you wouldn’t enjoy it. Q: Would I enjoy it more than reading one of your books? Or would it be equally painful? A: You’re cruel to dogs AND to authors. Q: If you answer my last question, I promise to be nice. How many years have you been writing? A: [mumbles] Q: That’s pathetic. A: Why don’t you ask me about my stories? Q: Stories are for campfires. A: The basis of history’s greatest novels is the story: the story of nations, cultures, families, individuals. The greatest idea that can be expressed in fiction is story. Q: Great, so tell me about your characters. A: Dull and Dumb are not two of my characters, or characteristics. Q: Do you ever write about animals, stuffed or not? A: Rescued greyhounds in Heaven Again, tiny ponies in Only The Impassioned, mudfish in Resurrection Flowers, ghosts in An Atmosphere Of Angels. Q: Ghosts aren’t animals, they’re unsettled spirits. If ghosts continue to read, what will they find in your novels? A: They will find passion, idea, and spirited characters whose lives are a story. And puppies.
