The Great Unraveling
When Lydia McCallister’s aunt Rose dies a mysterious death, twenty-seven year old Lydia disappears into the fabric of Waycross Georgia, shunned just as her aunt Rose had been all those years ago. Her aunt went to her death harboring a secret that destroyed her life, and vicariously Lydia’s life as well. Lydia is determined to uncover that secret. But just as she tries to re-engage with the society that rejected her, a “yellow fever” train rolls through town and tears at the very fabric of society. Lydia is determined to help the sick and hungry travelers, but the men from the "Vigilance Committee" refuse to let the train stop in Waycross. Will Lydia make the same mistakes as her aunt Rose, or will she learn to navigate a world unraveled by discrimination to forge a life of meaning and substance?
At least 50% of the proceeds of this novel will go to the aptly named Rex Foundation to help those in the arts, sciences, and education, and to assist those less fortunate than ourselves.
Dancing The Loom
Coming in 2021
In upstate New York at the turn of the century, a servant named Bridget is tucked away in the attic of a wealthy family's home, on the lowest rung of the servant hierarchy, despite her birth into a wealthy family who has lost everything. For all intents and purposes, she is invisible. Until one day, she sees a loom in the window of a five and dime, but not just any loom, the loom from her childhood. Every week, she puts money down to purchase the loom. Each night, however, the loom weaves the beginnings of a tapestry--a tapestry that foretells her future and the future of those around her. Her newfound celebrity status has her running to the countryside, where she must choose: follow the future mapped out for her on the loom, or follow her heart. Whatever she chooses, she must live with the consequences.
