...well, actually, my novella is included in a four-in-one collection, one of Barbour Publishing's "Romancing America" books.
The working title is "The Quakers of New Garden." At this point it's scheduled to come out in April.
My story takes place at the Levi Coffin House historic site in Fountain City (Newport) Indiana, part of the Wayne County Quaker settlement that served as a hub of the Underground Railroad. I set the story in 1840 and wondered what would happen if an injured slave hunter recovered at the Coffins' house, especially if he challenged the beliefs of the Quakers around him.
For that reason I've decided to change the direction of my blog and add more about Indiana history, not just the farm.
To research my story, "New Garden's Crossroad," I visited the Levi Coffin House in Fountain City, the Friends Collection archive at Earlham College, and the National Underground Railroad Museum in Cincinnati.
Over the weekend I hope to write more about these sites, and include pictures.
