The Winds of Change saga begins with the dawn of the twentieth century. 

2014 RONE AWARD FINALIST

A compelling historical fiction tale of four strangers who come together in the aftermath of the Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900—the deadliest hurricane in US history. More than 6,000 people died that fateful day and the island was left a sea of brokenness.

As the four diverse strangers cling to each other amidst the devastation in an attempt to survive, they change each other in ways they never would have imagined. It's more than a story about a tragic storm, it's about human spirit triumphing over unimaginable adversity.


Suddenly That Summer

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT:

Set during the same tumultuous era as THE WOMEN

1967: They called it the Summer of Love . . . 

For small-town Wisconsin siblings Billy and Jay Johnson, the summer of 1967 is a summer of change, confusion, and self-discovery.

Billy enlists in the army and is soon on his way to Vietnam. The letters and sketches he sends home tell the story of the crack-shot soldier he has become. ‘Slayer’ is a sniper the Vietcong both fear and loathe, an enemy they will never stop hunting.

Jay expects to enjoy the summer with her three lifelong friends, but they have grown up and grown apart. Then she meets Paul, the dazzling new boy, whose anti-war views make her question if things are as cut and dried as she’s been taught.  Torn, Jay struggles to make sense of her lifelong beliefs versus the turning cultural tide.

 A heartfelt, coming-of-age story that brings back the feelings of innocence, fireworks and fireflies, warm summer sun on your skin––and the moment you realized everything was about to change.

After the Fog by Kathleen Shoop

After the Fog is set in Donora, Pennsylvania, an area of Northern Appalachia, states away from where Demon Copperhead is set in a more southern section of Appalachia. But, After the Fog is also a small town story where, like Demon Copperhead, its setting acts as a character, shaping the plot and the development of those who people the story.

Set in 1948, After the Fog is inspired by the true event called the Killing Smog, an event that spurred the formation of the EPA and changed the way industrial waste was viewed by citizens and the government.

At its heart, After the Fog chronicles community nurse, Rose Pavlesic's attempt to right her life and save the lives of her friends and family during the devastating five days of fog. For readers who love small town drama and high stakes, After the Fog is a nice historical complement to Demon Copperhead's modern take on the ways one's environment impacts every aspect of their lives--inside and out.
