Featured Work
The Quality of Mercy, A Revolutionary Lady’s Tale
The novel blends historical facts and speculations with creative elements to tell the life story of Mercy Otis Warren (1728-1814). Mercy, the sister of James Otis, was a self-educated eighteenth-century woman, recognized by the Founding Fathers as an expert in English Constitutional and Common Law. She was a playwright, poet, pamphleteer, historian, political activist and theorist. She was a consummate letter writer whose participation and contributions during and after the American Revolution earned her the appellations as the “Conscience of the American Revolution” and the “Mother of the Bill of Rights.” She was America's first female historian, publishing the first history of the American Revolution in three volumes.
