![]() ![]() In the meantime, here’s a recent longish email I wrote in response to a reader’s doubts about the way I characterize abortion in the 19th century: Too familiar? To what? Another book? Do tell. Enough material for dozens of novels.Īs soon as Little Birds is finished I’ll jump into the third Waverly Place novel. The term Bleeding Kansas might strike some bells from history class, and it was also during this period that the western tribes were fighting for their survival. The years before the Civil War were politically explosive. This novel will fill in some of the family history between the end of The Endless Forest and the Civil War. Callie has accepted a job as a nurse and midwife in Santa Fe, and Nathan travels with her to see that she arrives safely. Little Birds focuses on two of Lily and Simon’s adult children (Callie and Nathan) who travel from New York to the New Mexico Territory in 1857. ![]() I realize this makes some readers unhappy, but I think in the end they will see the wisdom of this decision. ![]() Kate, my editor, and my publisher were convinced I needed to do the second and third novels out of order, so I am now writing Little Birds. My contract with Berkley/Penguin is for three novels: (1) Where the Light Enters (the sequel to The Gilded Hour, published in 2019) (2) a third novel in the Waverly Place series, as yet untitled and (3) and a novel set in the southwest in the years before the Civil War, titled Little Birds. ![]()
