1561. Europe is a house of cards, shaken by a religious upheaval that threatens to topple the existing structures of power entirely. Traveling from Italian fortresses under siege and the dungeons of the Vatican to the blooming Florentine countryside and France’s sumptuous palaces, Thy Mother Is a Lioness explores the rich history of a family whose matriarchs redefined female power for generations.  

 

In the final book of The American Trilogy, the people of Beardstown must grapple with their town’s legacy of freedom as the 20th century hurtles by. Will theirs be a community of virtue or vice, and at what cost?

The second book in The American Trilogy, Beardstown illuminates the enduring

conflict between liberty and virtue that formed a new land.

A Panther Crosses Over is the

first book of The American Trilogy—three novels which tell the story of the rise and fall of the society and culture that is the American Midwest.

Watch the Book Trailer for A Panther Crosses Over

  • Two hours before dawn, on a very cold morning in early March 1768, a brilliant meteor streaked across the sky, rushing down from Canada along the Scioto River valley. It was the Panther, a meteor legendary among the Shawnee. Every morning the Panther raced south, seeking a hole in the southern sky where it could rest. The Panther took a different route every night, and so was seldom seen, but whatever the path the Panther chose would shower good luck upon the people below. Pucksinwah, war chief of the Shawnee, hunkered before a dying fire, watched the Panther fly over. He had been up all night waiting for his wife, Methotasa, to deliver their third child. This one was coming slowly, but just as the Panther disappeared into the southern sky, Pucksinwah heard the fierce cry of his newborn son. What his name would be was instantly apparent. He was Tecumseh, “A Panther Crosses Over”.
