My name is Rosina Lippi. I'm a former academic and tenured university professor, writing full time since 2000. Under the pen name Sara Donati I am the author of the Wilderness series, six historical novels that follow the fortunes of a group of families living in upstate New York from about 1792-1825. A new series based on later generations of the same families was launched September 1, 2015 with The Gilded Hour. The next volume in the new series, Where the Light Enters, was released in 2019.
Please see the pinned post for an overview of what you'll find on this weblog, and what has been moved to the wiki (including the FAQ page).
If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn’t expecting it.
What is Italy! Mazda ball soup. Oh snort! Thanks for the excerpt. Great format as is.
Just in case you care: There’s a fancy dancy Greenbriar Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Va, the place Roosevelt went to rest and lollygag with his secretary.
Love it–can’t wait to read more.
One small thing. Bean’s a Southern girl, right? She would definitely say ‘shucking corn’ and not ‘husking corn’.
Elisabeth — thanks for catching that.
Very nice. I have a hard time with excerpts in that I want context, MORE context. Mwa ha ha ha. But that’s ok. I can wait.
Do people really say “husking?” That sounds like what you’d do if you wanted to put the husks back on.
Very entertaining excerpt. Can’t wait to read more about these characters.
feels like I am sitting right there sippin’ sweet tea! Can’t wait for more.
I know someone who exclaims like Big Dove, except she says “PraisetheLordthankyaJesus” all in one word. :) I’m loving everything I’ve read so far. I just finished TTTT at a record-breaking pace and went looking for your website. Good luck with the rest of the book.
Sharon — thank you. Hope you’ll find PJ worth the wait.
:-P
The same answer applies to archaeologists…
