I've been working on this book since the winter of 1991. The first manuscript I sent to potential publishers was nothing like the final product I sent to Dog Ear Publishing--17 years later. No wonder none of them wanted it. But THIS manuscript is good. Very good. I'm proud of it.
The story features three young girls whose lives reflect the three issues leading up to the First Woman's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, NY in 1848: temperance, abolition and women's rights.
So, Tess is the daughter of a drunken handyman; Beany the daughter of a runaway slave; Lucy the daughter of a wealthy abolitionist attorney. Once my Web site's up, I'll link to it and you can learn more about the girls and their adventures and traumas.
In the meantime I'm reading Brian Jud's Beyond the Bookstore, learning everything there is to know about marketing.
