Tom and I have begun a new book. In The Town on Rambling Creek, Matty and Tom had twins, Cornelia and Rachel. In the new book, tentatively called Bones of the Past, the twins are 12 years old and calling themselves C.J. and Ray. Lots of things are planned to happen – including a hunt for buried treasure, digging for dinosaur bones, and riding a new-fangled invention called a bicycle.

Welcome to our blog! We hope to have a conversation with readers of historical fiction and young adult fiction. Please add your comments to this page and to the other pages here.
