A Woman's Work: A Novel, The Storied Life of Pioneer Esther Morris, the World's First Female Justice of the Peace published October 2017 by TwoDot an imprint of Globe Pequot. Esther Morris was a unique American woman whose life paralleled the dramatic events of the 19th century. She lived on three frontiers and made a difference on each one. Ultimately, by organizing what may have been the second most important tea party in American history, she made it possible for Wyoming to be the first place in America where women had the legal right to vote. This creative dramatization is based on Morris's amazing life and explores the myths and truths in this story of a woman who shaped American history.
Heroes of New York Harbor: Tales from the City's Port published October 2016 by Globe Pequot Press. Compelling true stories of people who made a big difference. This is also my love story to the harbor.
