In the next few days, I will be uploading a free preview of the historical fiction book I'm working on.
The current working title is European Unionists #1: A Leap in the Dark.
The book is about two sets of siblings who arrive in Maine in 1845 from Europe. The first set is 3 year-year old twins who are adopted by a couple after their own parents die in the voyage from Ireland. The second set is an 8 year old girl and her 13 year old brother, whose aristocrat 5 member family is forces to flee Prague after their grandfather's household is assassinated by the Austrian Emperor on suspicion of revolutionary sympathies.
It follows these four over a 14 year period. The goal is to one day turn this into a 7 book series, with each book after set in each succeeding year from 1860-1865. A big goal but one that I don't feel is completely unreasonable.
What I will be uploading is the first 10 chapters, which is the first part of three, each part focusing on a certain year within the 14 year period. I am just waiting on a cover that I can use and to finish editing the second draft of these chapters. So in 1 week, you'll all have a chance to read the chapters, comment and make suggestions on how you feel the story could be improved.
